Not only should this be moved to Wikisource, but it's mistitled. Most of those who use this text liturgically do not refer to the holiday as Easter, but as Pascha. It is normally called the "Paschal Homily", not the "Easter Homily". Further, it the name of the preacher to whom it is attributed is required since it's not about Paschal homilies in general but about a specific one. Csernica 23:55, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

There are at least three on-line versions of this sermon (or homily) which call it the "Easter Sermon." While I understand that the Orthodox do not celebrate Easter--they celebrate Pascha--John Chrysostom belongs to the entire Universal Church. --Bob 21:59, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
