Midnight Service Heralds Risen Christ
By Rev. Macarius Targonsky
(Concluded from last week)
(Ed. note: The great fact of
Christ’s Passion and Resurrection
is observed by the Holy Eastern
Orthodox Church during this past
week and is climaxed in special
services tomorrow and Sunday.
This is the concluding article on
the observance of the event at the
Holy Resurrection Church here.)
On holy Great Saturday the Lit
urgy of St. Basil is celebrated be
ginning at 9 a. m., commemoratin/g
Christ’s descent into hades. At
11:30 p. m. the Midnight Easter
services begin.
Exactly at midnight the priest
and people holding candles, ban
ners, icons, Cross, and Gospel book,
in a majestic procession encircle
ithe church thrice singing the tri
umphant hymn of the resurrection.
Then, outside of the doors of the
church, which represents the rock
sealed tomb, the priest begins the
Resurrection Matins singing:
“Christos Voskrese . . (Christ is
risen from the dead). Thp doors
are opened and all enter, symboli
cal of the Myrrh-bearing Women
who came early in the morning to
the tomb and found the stone
rolled away and heard the angel
proclaiming “He is Risen.” The
services continue in joyous melo
dies through to the end. At the end
the priest and all the people em
brace each other with a holy joy
ous kiss in accordance to one of the
most ancient Christian traditions.

Celebrated Easter Bread From Russia
Make Unusual Treat For Holiday Tables
If you have a Russian ancestress,
you will surely reoognize these
Easter breads—set before the great
Cathedral of St. Basil in Moscow.
After the celebration of the Eas
ter mass—.from midnight until
morning—comes the gerat Easter
feast. All the Easter breads are
sweet and rich—filled with eggs
and butter and gleaming with the
colors of red and green glace and
maraschino cherries. The Koolitch
is traditionally eaten with pass’ha,
which is not really a bread at all
but a cheese confection. A Russian
grandmother will have special
wooden molds for making these
Easter breads. But nothing shapes
the little onion-steeple loaves, the
koolitch, as well as ordinary coffee
cans. And the pass’ha comes out
perfectly when made in a dean
flower pot, which allows the mois
ture to drain away from the cheese.
Rich as it is—with cottage and
cream cheese, butter, eggs, glace
cherries and nuts—pass’ha will be
served in Russia with whipped
cream or a custard sauce. To en
chant the children on Easter, eggs
are colored and decorated with
each child’s name or the name of
his patron saint and baked right
into braided yeast breads as in our
Easter egg braid.

Berean Baptists
New Organized
An organizational meeting of the
Berean Baptist Church was held
Wednesday, March 29, with a small
group joining as charter members.
The group has been meeting here
since September of last year and
since January in the old bakery
building. Pastor is Rev. Cletis Lev
erett.
Charter members who joined are
Mr. and Mrs. Albert Garcia, Mr.
and Mrs. Paul S. Grimes, Mr. and
Mrs. Burnie Lindsey and daughter
Heather, Mr. and Mrs. Tracy Neal,
Mr. Marion Parker, Mr. and Mrs.
Cletis Leverett and son, Cletis, Jr.
Pastor Leverett commented on
Christian Unity, pointing out two
things: “As a churcih we come to
gether because we love the Lord
and each other. We are always re
sponsible to respect each other as
men made in the image of God and
redeemed by the blood of the Son
of God.”
The treasurer’s report was given
which showed that $1,956.54 had
been given through regular offer
ings and by interested friends in
Kodiak. The main item of business
was the adoption of the articles of
faith, covenant, and ohurch consti
tution. A budget was adopted
which included 10% of all of
ferings to go to missions.
New officers elected include the
following: Sunday School Superin
tendent, L. B. Lindsey; Church
Clerk and S. S. Secretary, Mrs.
Betty Neal; Treasurer, L. B. Lind
sey; Assoc. Treas., Marion Parker.
Purchase of six lots by the
church, located on Mission Rd. and
K Street, was announced by Rev.
Leveret, who said they expect to
get started building in the next two
months. He said the Berean Baptist
Church is in fellowship with the
general association of regular Bap
tist churches, a group of about
1,000 churches. “We feel that any
fundamental Baptist will feel at
home in our Church,” he said. “Es
pecially people with conservative,
bible or Southern Baptist back
ground.”
Pastor Leverett mimeographs a
small church paper weekly. Any
one desiring a copy may receive
it by writing him, box 276, Kodiak.
Sunday evening Rev. Leverett
will g*ive a brief history of the Bap
tists inviting questions from the
floor afterwards. Service begins at
7 p. m.
IN APPRECIATION
For the many kindnesses 6hown
us during our stay in Kodiak and
