"CHRIST HAS RESURRECTED AND THE LIFE TRIUMPHS"
“The King of the days”, Easter, “The Holiday of holidays and festivals”… These are the names Easter which the Christian world, both the East and the West, has celebrated on the 8th of April. It seems that the Lord himself has made the significant sign –unite, rally, love each other! And you cannot but agree how important, topical, urgent it is now for the whole of our native Ukraine and the people so, the radio broadcast “The Spiritual Landing Place” with the participation of the Vice Hetman of the Ukrainian Registered Cossacks on religious problems, Colonel – General of the URC, the leader of the Centre of Religions Investigations and International Spiritual Relations Professor-Assistant Igor Kozlovsky has started with the sound of this peacemaking
“This year both Catholics and members of the Orthodox Churches were celebrating Easter simultaneously, - the well-known theologian underlined,- accordingly, Willow Sunday and Palm Sunday, when the branches of the willow, palm, boxwood and laurel were being consecrated in churches, have coincided, and Velikaya(Great) Saturday has coincided with the two-decade’s holiday of Blagoveshchenie of God Mother. The Gathering of Archangel Michael has coincided with Svetloye Christ Sunday. All attendant to Fast restrictions are cancelled, Svetlaya Sedmitsa has come. Next Sunday, the fifteenth of April, is called Anti-Easter (From Greek “anti”- “instead of”), as Messiah (appeared) again before his disciples, and Thomas, had been absent earlier, changed his mind as to the Resurrection and said: “Oh, My Lord! Oh, my God!”
Igor Kozlovsky has actually commented and published a religions calendar for April in his broadcast, which regular audience and admirers of the “Spiritual Landing Place” hoped. The theologian has spoken about the Radounitsa on the seventeenth of April when the deceased are commemorated, about the Holiday of Holly Women peace makers on the twenty second of April and can be truly considered the women’s day, because the first who learned about Resurrection of Jesus Christ, according to the Gospel from Luke, were Maria of Magdala and Johanna and Mary, the mother of Jacobs and others with them who came to the Lord’s grave with aromatic myrrh for ointment.
