In the darkness of the eve before Pascha, or Easter, Ukrainian Greek Catholics gather at liturgy to continue to venerate the dead Christ through the the icon of the plaschenytsia. Known as a nadhrobne, it is a service at the tomb. People bow and venerate the cloth icon as they arrive, and the choir chants from the psalms and other prayers. The priest eventually takes the plaschenytsia and places it on the altar.
The celebrants change their vestments from red for mourning to white for celebration, beginning a part of the service known as the Resurrection Matins. An icon of the risen Christ is presented to the faithful, among lit candles signaling the light of Christ brought back into the world. A procession leaves the church, into the dark streets, to indeed bring the image of Christ into the world. When the procession returns to the church, the priests knocks on the closed door of the church, and proclaims for the first time the message, Khrystos voskres! Christ is risen! The community is blessed three times with the message, Khrystos voskres! and they answer each time Voistynu Voskrese! He is risen indeed!
The service continues inside with the continued singing of Matins and the celebration of the Divine Liturgy.

Nativity Matins as celebrated at St Michael Ukrainian Orthodox Church on Tuesday, January 6, 2015. It was so moving being able to celebrate this beautiful service back in our temple! The Nativity Exapostilarion is a favorite: Our Savior, the Dayspring from the East, has visited us from on high, and we who were in darkness and shadow have found the truth. For from the virgin the Lord is born.

Easter Sunday 2015 (TRAILER)
The foundation of Christianity rests solely on the fact that Jesus Christ rose from the dead. The resurrection means that sin, death, and hopelessness do not win—Jesus does. It means the grave does not win, and the empty tomb is the final word of Jesus. It means Jesus really did die for our sin and really did rise for our salvation. Easter Sunday is the day that Christians all over the world celebrate and remember the life-changing, life-giving, death-defeating, joy-increasing fact that Jesus is alive!
Join us for worship this Sunday at 10:30am.
