I hate to ask, but am going to. As a non-Christian, why is the phrase not

"The Lord has Risen"?

Thanks.

I suspect it's a reference to the teaching that the gates of heaven are currently open (the symbolism of Christ rising, I think, 6th grade parochial school was so long ago), or they haven't yet convened an ecumenical council to verify the original translation.

The lord is risen, is the present tense; this shows that message is continual, and presently in force. It's not something only from the past; the message is perpetually meaningful.

Thank you both @91Joe95 and @aferrelli for the feedback. I assumed the play on words i.e. being always in the present was one possible reason.

Thanks much!
