About this listen


In this inspiring episode of Profile in Faith, host David Curry shares the vibrant story of "Risus Paschalis," or Easter laughter, a unique tradition from a Bavarian village where humor became a powerful symbol of Christ's resurrection and victory over despair.

Through historical insights and poignant reflections, David illustrates how laughter served as joyous defiance against evil, turning tragedy into triumph, and persecution into a catalyst for faith's spread.

Join us in discovering how God's grace transforms suffering into joy, reminding us that darkness never has the last word.
