This year our Easter Sviaczene (Св'ячене) will be Sunday, April 30 in our Church Hall at 11:30 AM. We welcome all parishioners and guests. Tickets for this Easter Dinner are free for parishioners but donations are appreciated. Adults $12.00 -- Children (under 12) free Donations needed - Please plan to attend this happy event. Come join us in celebrating the Resurrection! ***********************************************************************************************************************

Starting today, the feast of Pascha, and continuing until Pentecost Sunday, we do not kneel during the Divine Liturgy. Kneeling is a sign of penance and contrition – but the joy of Pascha is so much greater in this season that we stand in celebration instead.

For the Feast of the Resurrection, we have received the 2017 Paschal Pastoral Letter. The entire text is posted on the bulletin board in the Church vestibule. ***********************************************************************************************************************

We sing after Paschal (Resurrection) Matins before Paschal (Resurrection) Divine Liturgy three times: Khrystos Voskrese iz mertvych,smertiju smert poprav, I suscym vo hrob’ich zyvot darovav. CHRIST IS RISEN from the dead! By death He conquered death, and those in the graves He granted life.

Also after Liturgy sing three times: Khrystos Voskrese iz mertvych, smertiju smert poprav, I suscym vo hrob’ich zyvot darovav.

Song 57. Khrystos Voskres! Radeest z neba.

55. Sohlasno zaspeevajmo and others songs during Myrovonia ***********************************************************************************************************************

1. Христос воскрес! (2) 2. Христос воскрес! (2)

Радість з неба ся являє, Земленька зі сну збудилась,

Пасха красна днесь витає, В трави, квіти замаїлась,

Радуйтеся щиро нині, Звір і птичка веселиться,

Бог дав щастя всій родині, Миром Божим світ краситься.

Бог дав радість нам з небес: Люди! Мир дав Бог з небес:

Христос воскрес! Христос воскрес!

3. Христос воскрес! (2)

Мир нам сам Христос приносить,

Мир нам небо днесь голосить,

Мир той Божий всі вітаймо,

Ласку Божу прославляймо,

Чудо Боже всіх чудес:

Христос воскрес!
