Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other, Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb? But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed. Don t be alarmed, he said. You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter, He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you. Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid. (On Page 1010 in your Bible) EPISTLE Acts 1:15-26 In those days Peter stood up among the believers (a group numbering about a hundred and twenty) and said, Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit

5 spoke long ago through the mouth of David concerning Judas, who served as a guide for those who arrested Jesus - he was one of our number and shared in this ministry. (With the reward he got for his wickedness, Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out. Everyone in Jerusalem heard about this, so they called the field in their language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.) For, said Peter, it is written in the book of Psalms, May his place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in it, and, May another take his place of leadership. Therefore, it is necessary to choose one of the men who have been with us the whole time the Lord Jesus went in and out among us. For one of these must become a witness with us of his resurrection. So they proposed two men: Joseph called Barabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias. Then they prayed, Lord, you know everyone s heart. Show us which of these two you have chosen to take over this apostolic ministry, which Judas left to go where he belongs. Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles.

Since the time of the early church, determining the date of Easter has been a matter of dispute. The date is calculated to be on the Sunday immediately following the Full Moon after the Equinox (canon established by the Council of Nicea in 325 AD). Most of Christendon, including the Armenian Church (except in Jerusalem), follows the Gregorian calendar. Eastern Orthodox Churches still use the Julian calendar (for calculating the date of Easter). The dates rarely coincide. This year the rarity has occurred and the two Easters coincide. MONDAY IS MEMORIAL DAY In the Armenian tradition, the day following each of the five major feast days, is Memorial Day, or Remembrance of the Dead. Traditionally, the Divine Liturgy is celebrated on this day, and afterwards the faithful visit the graves of their loved ones that are blessed by the priest with chants and incense ******************************************************
