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.
