Fans greeted each other on Easter at a Sunday evening soccer match at Moscow Lokomotiv stadium.
At the beginning of the second half of the match thousands of fans of Dynamo team started chanting “Christ is Risen!â€, an Interfax correspondent reports.
Thousands of fans of Lokomotiv teeam on the opposite side of the stadium responded by chanting “Truly He is Risen!â€
The exchange took place several times.
The correspondent who has attended soccer matches for almost 50 years says it was the occurrence of this kind in the history of Russian soccer.

That is AMAZING!!! Too bad it's not in the US. Nice to see the Lord working all over the world, though.
Me too Shirley. I could actually understand a little of what they were saying - the name Jesus especially. How thrilling to hear a stadium full of people shouting out THE NAME. Especially in a country where for most of my whole life they were forbidden to worship God and could die for doing what they did here. Wonderful. Love to see that happen all around the earth before we leave.
