By the Glorious Resurrection
O God, who by the glorious resurrection of your Son Jesus Christ destroyed death and brought life and immortality to light: Grant that we, who have been raised with him, may abide in his presence and rejoice in the hope of eternal glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be dominion and praise for ever and ever. Amen.
[The usual literal translation of "ICXC NIKA" is "Jesus Christ conquers". The translation is sometimes "Jesus Christ is victorious". What Holy God the Son within the Holy Trinity / Our Lord, God and Savior, Jesus Christ, conquered was death.]

How many times have I stared at this symbol from the front of the Altar?
Thousands...
And I never knew what it meant. But as I was getting ready to post it here I decided that I had better find out before someone asked.
Christ is victorious!
That's a message I can read all year long.
