​"Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.'"

John 11:25-26

Starting with Good Friday and culminating on Bright Monday our Church parish was treated to an extraordinary Easter.

Great Saturday Evening Services were officiated by Bishop Maxim along with our parish priest, Fr. Jovic. The traditional candle light service started late on Saturday evening and ended after midnight on Easter. Breakfast was served to the those who attended in the Church Library.

RESURRECTION OF OUR LORD (EASTER)
ВАСКРСЕЊЕ ХРИСТОВО (ВАСКРС)

On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!" After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.

Again Jesus said, "Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you." And with that he breathed on them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone's sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven."

Jesus is greeted with palms as he enters Jerusalem.

PALM SUNDAY
ЦВЕТНА НЕДЕЉА

The next day a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, and cried out:
"Hosanna!
'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!'
The King of Israel!"

5th SUNDAY OF GREAT LENT
5. НЕДЕЉА ПОСТА

They were on their way up to Jerusalem, with Jesus leading the way, and the disciples were astonished, while those who followed were afraid. Again he took the Twelve aside and told them what was going to happen to him.  "We are going up to Jerusalem," he said, "and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law."

4th SUNDAY OF GREAT LENT
4. НЕДЕЉА ПОСТА

A man in the crowd answered, "Teacher, I brought you my son, who is possessed by a spirit that has robbed him of speech. Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive out the spirit, but they could not."
"You unbelieving generation," Jesus replied, "how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy to me."
