The Kodiak Holy Resurrection
Russian Orthodox Church is now
celebrating the Divine Passion of
Christ. This year Holy Great
(Good) Friday falls on April 27th,
and Easter Sunday on April 29th,
according to the rules set by the
First Ecumenical Council of the
Christian Church held in 325.
To the Orthodox Christian East
er is appropriately known as
““Pascha,” since it celebrates
Christ passing-over (thus, “Pas
cha” from the Hebraic word “Pass
over”) from death unto life. St.
Paul testifies that if it were not
for the Resurrection of Christ our
faith would be meaningless. Thus,
the Orthodox Church from the
very first century has always cele
brated this event as the most glor
ious in the history of mankind.
On Good Friday at the Vesper
Service (2 p.m.) the Plaschanitsa
(a large embroidered image of
Christ’s Body prepared for en
tombment) is reverently carried
out from the altar into the center
of the church symbolizes Joseph
of Arimathea taking down the
Body off Christ from the cross
and laying It in a new tomb. At
the. Matin Service (8 p.m.) it is
borne around the church in a sol
emmn procession, symbolical of
His burial.
On Great Saturday at 11 p.m.
the people gather again at the
church for the holy services. At
exactly mid-nite the priest and
people holding lit candles, ban
ners, holy icons, and the Gospe
book, in a majestic procession en

circle the church thrice singing
the joyful resurrection hymn.
Throughout the whole service
the theme of Christ’s triumphant
resurrection is joyfully sung; and
at the conclusion the faithful em
brace one another with the Chris
tian kiss of joy according to the
practice of the first Christians.
Thereafter the priest blesses
the Easter foods, such as kuliech
(Russian Easter bread), meats,
dyed boiled eggs, cheese and other
foods from which the faithful had
abstained during the seven weeks
of the Great Lent just before
Easter.

Amvrossy, Bishop of Sitka and

during the Easter Liturgy which
will begin about 2 a.m. At four
in the afternoon on Easter Sun
day the Vespers will be held and
the Gospel read in several lan
guages.
