Following the solemnity of Good Friday, on Saturday, April 19, 2014, the jubilant hymn “Christ is Risen from the dead” resonated throughout Prelacy Churches as Prelacy faithful joyfully celebrated the Light of the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ with Divine Liturgy and the Easter Eve candle-lighting ceremony.
H.E. Archbishop Moushegh Mardirossian, Prelate, celebrated Easter Eve Divine Liturgy at St. Garabed Church in Hollywood, delivered his message to the faithful, and presided over the candle-lighting ceremony (Jrakalooyts) representing the radiating of Christ’s Light.
In his message, the Prelate invited the faithful to receive and be emboldened by the triumphant tidings of the Resurrection, and to overcome any and all hardship and sorrow with the joy, hope, and promise of Easter.
