SUMMARY:Vesperal Liturgy of Holy Saturday
DESCRIPTION:Great and Holy Saturday is the day on which Christ reposed in the tomb. The Church calls this day the Blessed Sabbath. \n“The great Moses mystically foreshadowed this day when he said:\nGod blessed the seventh day.\nThis is the blessed Sabbath\nThis is the day of rest\,\non which the only-begotten Son of God rested from all His works….” \n(Vesperal Liturgy of Holy Saturday) \nBy using this title the Church links Holy Saturday with the creative act of God. In the initial account of creation as found in the Book of Genesis\, God made man in His own image and likeness. To be truly himself\, man was to live in constant communion with the source and dynamic power of that image: God. Man fell from God. Now Christ\, the Son of God through whom all things were created\, has come to restore man to communion with God. He thereby completes creation. All things are again as they should be. His mission is consummated. On the Blessed Sabbath He rests from all His works…read more https://www.oca.org/saints/lives/2023/04/15/26-great-and-holy-saturday

SUMMARY:Nocturns\, Matins and Paschal Divine Liturgy
DESCRIPTION:The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is the center of the Christian faith. Saint Paul says that if Christ is not raised from the dead\, then our preaching and faith are in vain (I Cor. 15:14). Indeed\, without the resurrection there would be no Christian preaching or faith. The disciples of Christ would have remained the broken and hopeless band which the Gospel of John describes as being in hiding behind locked doors for fear of the Jews. They went nowhere and preached nothing until they met the risen Christ\, the doors being shut (John 20: 19). Then they touched the wounds of the nails and the spear; they ate and drank with Him. The resurrection became the basis of everything they said and did (Acts 2-4): “. . . for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have” (Luke 24:39).read more… https://www.oca.org/saints/lives/2023/04/16/27-holy-pascha-the-resurrection-of-our-lord
