Good Friday services were observed in front of the symbolic tomb of Jesus, which was decorated by flowers donated by our parishioners.
On Holy Saturday Morning, the students of St. Sarkis Church Hovsep and Suzanne Hagopian Saturday School received the Holy Communion. Services were presided over Fr. Nareg Tereterian. Following the service, the PTA hosted the Annual Easter Communion Brunch.

Suzanne & Hovsep Hagopian PTA Easter Brunch
|
On Easter Eve, April 15th, the church was full of Grandparents, Parents, Teachers and Children for the Holy Communion. After the beautiful and brief service, everyone headed to the Main Hall for the Easter Brunch festivities. The hall was decorated with bouquets of flowers and Easter tulips and tables were set for over 200 attendees.The two buffet tables were set up with an abundance of goodies for everyone to enjoy including homemade cheese beuregs prepared by our talented PTA ladies the night before. There was an assortment of finger foods, heroes, bagels, dessert items and much more. Nature Nick gave an animal presentation to an amazed and mesmerized audience. The animals he brought with him were not your usual type; In fact they were rare and exotic. Afterwards, the children took turns taking pictures with the adorable Easter Bunny. The egg hunt was a lot of excitement with children running around trying to find the most eggs. The Easter brunch store did very well with the sale of choregs, Easter cake pops and the flower bouquets and tulips. The event was very successful and a lot of fun was had on this special day.

THE EPISTLE OF ST. JAMES THE APOSTLE (5.1-11)
Not many of you should presume to be teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check.
When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man, but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.
ՅԱԿՈԲՈՍ ԱՌԱՔԵԱԼԻ ԸՆԴՀԱՆՐԱԿԱՆ ՆԱՄԱԿԸ (3.1-12)
Եղբայրնե՛րս, ամէնքդ ալ ուրիշները սրբագրելու հետամուտ մի՛ ըլլաք, գիտնալով որ մենք՝ ուսուցանողներս աւելի խստութեամբ պիտի դատուինք, որովհետեւ բոլորս ալ յանցանքներ ունինք:
Ան որ գիտէ իր խօսքերը կշռել՝ կատարեալ մարդ է, ինքզինքին իշխելու կարող: Տե՛ս, թէ ի՛նչպէս ձիերուն բերանը սանձ կը դնենք՝ որպէսզի մեզի ենթարկուին, եւ անով ձիուն բոլոր շարժումները կը կառավարենք: Կամ դիտէ՛ նաւերը. ո՛րքան ալ մեծ ըլլան եւ ինչպիսի՛ զօրաւոր հովերէ ալ քշուին, փոքրիկ ղեկ մը զիրենք կ՚ուղղէ դէպի հոն՝ ուր նաւավարը կը փափաքի տանիլ: Նոյնպէս ալ լեզուն. թէեւ փոքր անդամ մըն է, բայց մեծամեծ բաներով կը պարծենայ: Գիտէք, թէ պզտիկ կայծը հսկայ անտառ մը կրնայ հրդեհել: Լեզուն ալ կրակ է: Անիրաւութեան աշխարհ մըն է անիկա: Թէեւ պարզ մէկ անդամն է մարմինին, բայց ամբողջ մարդը կ՚ապականէ, եւ գեհենի կրակով բռնկած՝ ամբողջ կեանքը կրակով կը վառէ:
Բոլոր տեսակի գազանները, թռչունները, սողունները եւ ծովային կենդանիները նուաճուած են մարդուն կողմէ եւ կը հնազանդին անոր: Բայց ո՛չ ոք կրնայ հնազանդեցնել մարդկային լեզուն, որ չար է, անզսպելի եւ մահացու թոյնով լեցուն: Անով կ՚օրհնենք մեր Տէրը եւ Հայրն Աստուած, եւ դարձեալ անով կ՚անիծենք մարդիկը, որոնք Աստուծոյ նմանութեամբը ստեղծուած են: Այսինքն՝ նոյն բերանէն կ՚ելլեն թէ՛ օրհնութիւնը եւ թէ՛ անէծքը: Ասիկա ճիշդ չէ սակայն, եղբայրներս: Միթէ աղբիւր մը միեւնոյն ակէն քաղցր եւ դառն ջուր կը բղխէ՞:
Կարելի՞ բան է, եղբայրներս, որ թզենին ձիթապտուղ տայ կամ որթատունկը՝ թուզ: Նմանապէս կարելի չէ որ աղուտ հողէն քաղցր ջուր բղխի:
THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST ACCORDING TO JOHN (1.1-17)
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.
There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God- children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John testifies concerning him. He cries out, saying, "This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.' " From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
ՅԻՍՈՒՍ ՔՐԻՍՏՈՍԻ ԱՒԵՏԱՐԱՆԸ ԸՍՏ ՅՈՎՀԱՆՆԷՍԻ (1.1-17)
Աշխարհի ստեղծագործութենէն առաջ գոյութիւն ունէր Բանը: Բանը Աստուծոյ հետ էր եւ Բանը Աստուած էր: Անիկա սկիզբէն Աստուծոյ հետ էր: Անով էր որ Աստուած ամէն ինչ ստեղծեց. առանց անոր ո՛չ մէկ բան ստեղծեց: Կեանքը անով սկիզբ առաւ: Եւ կեանքը մարդոց համար լոյսն է՝ որ խաւարին մէջ կը փայլի. բայց խաւարը չկրցաւ հասկնալ զայն:
Յովհաննէս, որ Աստուծոյ կողմէ ղրկուած մարդ մըն էր, եկաւ Լոյսին համար վկայութիւն տալու, որպէսզի ամէն մարդ անոր միջոցաւ հաւատայ: Ինք Լոյսը չէր, այլ՝ Լոյսին համար վկայ մը: Բանն էր ճշմարիտ Լոյսը, որ աշխարհ գալով՝ կը լուսաւորէ ամբողջ մարդկութիւնը: Աշխարհի մէջ էր անիկա, աշխարհը իրմով ստեղծուեցաւ, սակայն աշխարհը զինք չճանչցաւ: Իր իսկ ստեղծած աշխարհը եկաւ, բայց իր իսկ ստեղծած մարդիկը զինք չընդունեցին: Իսկ զինք ընդունողներուն եւ իրեն հաւատացողներուն իշխանութիւն տուաւ Աստուծոյ որդիներ ըլլալու. ո՛չ արեան ճամբով եւ ո՛չ մարմինի կամ մարդկային կամքով, այլ՝ Աստուծմէ ծնելով:
Եւ Բանը մարդ եղաւ եւ մեր միջեւ բնակեցաւ, եւ մենք տեսանք անոր փառքը. փառքը Միածինին, որ Հօրմէն եկաւ՝ շնորհքով եւ ճշմարտութեամբ լեցուն:
Յովհաննէս անոր մասին վկայեց, յայտարարելով.- Ասիկա է ան՝ որուն մասին կ՚ըսէի. «Ան որ ինձմէ առաջ գոյութիւն ունէր»:
Անոր լիառատ շնորհքէն է որ մենք բոլորս շնորհքի վրայ շնորհք ստացանք. որովհետեւ Օրէնքը Մովսէսի միջոցաւ տրուեցաւ, մինչ շնորհքն ու ճշմարտութիւնը՝ Յիսուս Քրիստոսի միջոցաւ:

New Sunday
This Sunday, April 23rd, is New Sunday (Nor Kiraki). Easter Sunday is followed by a period of fifty days (Hinoonk) during which there are no fasting days or saints days. This period from the Resurrection to Pentecost (Hogegaloost) is dedicated to the glorification of the Resurrection. Each of the seven Sundays of Hinoonk has a special name.
This Sunday, the first Sunday after Easter, is called New Sunday, since the first day of the week through Christ's Resurrection became consecrated and Sunday became a dominical day. It is also called Second Easter (Grgazadiz), which literally means "Easter repeated," because it is the eighth day of Easter and a day similar to Easter.
Feast Of The Holy Martyrs Of The Armenian Genocide
This Monday, April 24, the Armenian Church commemorates the Feast of the Holy Martyrs of the Armenian Genocide. In 2015 the martyrs of the Armenian Genocide were canonized as saints of the Armenian Church. Now each year April 24 is designated as the Feast of the Holy Martyrs of the Armenian Genocide on the Armenian Church's Liturgical Calendar.
