Tetyana SHEVCHUK* CHRISTIAN and PAGAN
Tetyana SHEVCHUK ∗ CHRISTIAN AND PAGAN TRADITIONS IN THE CHURCH HOLIDAYS AND CEREMONIES OF BUDJAK (BASED ON THE GRAPHICS OF VLADIMIR AFANASYEV) - Abstract - In this study, it is our intention to highlight the peculiarities of intersection of Christian and pagan traditions in church holidays and ceremonies of Budjak, a border district in the south of Odessa region, Ukraine. Its distinctive features are mulculturalism and nationally specific forms of communication in the situation of dinamic cultural interference. The material of the study is the album The World of Graphics... (2001), by the Bessarabian artist Vladimir Afanasyev, who collected 140 ethnographic sketches with a verbal component created by him during a quarter of a century. The paper with a focus on “Holidays and Rituals” block of pictures continues some previous examinations conducted on the cycles of graphic images of V. Afanasiev, such as “Nature of Budjak”, “Work”, “Leisure”, “Popular Pedagogy”. The novelty consists of the conducted examination and the critical opinions, devoted to regional specifics of pre‐Christian Old Slavonic ceremonies, preserved in collective memory of local society. The work can be useful to academics and practitioners who have specific responsibilities in the field of Cultural and Art Studies. Keywords: Budjak, graphics, village, Christian, pagan, church holiday, ceremony, artistic impression. ∗∗∗ The phenomenon of harmonious intersection of traditions of the New Testament and pagan culture in ritual practice of certain society is characteristic for the Christian cultural area. Kievan Rus was formed as a state with developed system of pagan beliefs that inevitably became the principles of religious ‘dual faith’ after the adoption of orthodoxy.

Lent † Triduum † Easter 2017
Lent † Trid u u m † Ea ster 2017 1450 South Melrose Drive ▪ Oceanside, CA 92056 760-758-4100 ▪ www.stmoside.org [email protected] † † † February 2017 Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Christians have always observed with great devotion the days of our Lord’s passion and resurrection. It became the custom of the church to prepare for Easter by a season of penitence, fasting, and prayer. This season of forty days provided a time in which converts to the faith were in their final preparations for the celebration of the Sacraments of Initiation into the Body of Christ. It is also the time when persons who had committed serious sins and had been separated from the community of faith were reconciled by penitence and forgiveness and restored to the fellowship of the church. In this way, the whole congregation is reminded of the mercy and forgiveness proclaimed in the gospel of Jesus Christ and the need we all have to renew our baptismal faith. As we begin this season of Lent, I invite you, in the name of the Lord, to observe a holy Lent, by self-examination, penitence, prayer, fasting, almsgiving, and by reading and meditating on the Word of God. May these disciplines strengthen us individually and communally to be more faithful Disciples of the Lord Jesus. In the next forty days, may we die with the Lord and, on Easter Sunday, rise with him to new life, new hope, and new beginnings! Sincerely in Christ, Rev. Michael Ratajczak Pastor Daily Mass at 8:15am Monday-Friday Church and Blessed Sacrament Chapel open 7:00am-7:00pm seven days

Contemporary Urban Russian Funerals 109
Contemporary Urban Russian Funerals 109 Contemporary Urban Russian Funerals: Continuity and Change Jeanmarie Rouhier-Willoughby University of Kentucky Про похороны интереснее рассказывать, потому что в похоронном обряде сохранились традиции глубже всего. Потому что тут, какими бы ни были люди далекими от всего, образованными, страшными консерваторами, тут надо все соблюсти. It is more interesting to talk about funerals because, in the funerary ritual, traditions have been preserved best of all. Because here, no matter how far people were from everything, whether educated, whether frightfully conservative, here everything has to be observed. So said Ekaterina Z., an informant from Novosibirsk, born in 1978. While Ekaterina’s opinion has some merit, as we will see, the urban Russian funeral has not been a stable ritual throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. In fact, it reflects attitudes from both the Soviet period and the post-Soviet period, attitudes which demonstrate how social values have changed over these periods. This paper is based on thirty interviews about funerals with residents of Novosibirsk and Vladimir, Russia (or with emigres to America). The informants ranged in age from 26 to 73 years of age and included 25 women and 5 men. 27 were Russian; the remaining three identified themselves as Tatar, Bashkir or Mordvin. They are representatives of the urban working and middle classes; most attended VUZy (institutions of higher education). 17 were from Novosibirsk and 13 from Vladimir. Most of the funerals they described took place in those locations between 1966 and 2003, although one funeral took place in Chita. In order to evaluate the validity of Ekaterina’s statement, we must first examine the traditional 19th century village funeral.

Easter-Traditions-In-France-Powerpoint
Easter Traditions Easter is a time of celebration for Christians, who remember when Jesus was crucified on Good Friday and rose from the dead on Easter Sunday. There are many Easter traditions, such as eating chocolate eggs, going on Easter egg hunts and making Easter bonnets. However, in France there are other traditional ways of celebrating Easter. Rolling Eggs In some parts of France, people join in the contest of egg rolling. This involves rolling eggs down a slope. The winning egg, which remains intact, represents the stone which was rolled away from the tomb where Jesus had been laid after his death. Easter Egg Hunts Many people in France join in with Easter egg hunts. In the grounds of the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte, which is just outside Paris, the largest egg hunt in France is held. Tens of thousands of eggs are hidden for children and adults to find. Les Cloches de Pâques Les Cloches de Pâques, or ‘Easter bells’, is a popular tradition in France. No church bells are rung from Good Friday to Easter Sunday in mourning for Jesus’ crucifixion. It is said that on Good Friday, the bells in France fly to the Vatican in Rome where the Pope blesses them. They then return on Easter Sunday, bringing with them chocolate eggs which are dropped in gardens. Then, on Easter Sunday morning, children will run out into the garden to find their chocolate eggs, bunnies and chickens. The church bells ring again. Chocolate bells are sold in the shops, to remember this tradition. Omelettes at Easter Many years ago, church law banned Christians from eating eggs during Lent – the forty days and nights before Easter Sunday.

MARCH 2020 from OUR INTERIM PASTOR 1Now All the Tax-Collectors and Sinners Were Coming Near to Listen to Him
Page 1 GOOD TIDINGS A Monthly Newsletter of The Presbyterian Church of Morris Plains MARCH 2020 FROM OUR INTERIM PASTOR 1Now all the tax-collectors and sinners were coming near to listen to him. 2And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying, ‘This fel- low welcomes sinners and eats with them.’ 3 So he told them this para- ble: 4‘Which one of you, having a hundred sheep and losing one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that is lost until he finds it? 5When he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders and rejoic- es. 6And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, “Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.” 7Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance. 8 ‘Or what woman having ten silver coins, if she loses one of them, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it?9When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, “Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.” 10Just so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.’ -Luke 15:1-10 Lost and found is a common biblical theme. But as it happens with something that is familiar, we tend to receive it with one eye or ear closed, believing we know it all and there’s nothing new to learn.

Blessing of the Easter Foods on Saturday, April 3, 2021 at 9 AM
Blessing of the Easter Foods on Saturday, April 3, 2021 at 9 AM. In Slavic countries the blessing of Easter foods was an important tradition. This blessing is still found in the updated Roman Ritual, and is a wonderful practice. Many parishes still participate in this custom of the blessing of the Easter food or baskets. DIRECTIONS In some places the blessing of special Easter food takes place on Holy Saturday. Among the Slovaks a basket containing lamb meat (which signifies Jesus, the Lamb of God), boiled eggs, dyed and plain, Pascha (a special Easter bread), and other foods, is taken to the church in the afternoon where the priest blesses it, using the prayer [Editor's Note: This is an older version of the blessing. The current blessing can be found in the Book of Blessings]: Bless, O Lord, this creation that it may be a means of salvation to the human race, And grant that, by the invocation of Thy Holy Name, it may promote health of body, and salvation of soul in those who partake of it, through Christ our Lord. The food is then taken home and eaten for breakfast on Easter Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. Among the Polish people the same custom is practiced, but the main foods blessed are an egg which is broken and shared by all on Easter Sunday morning, and a lamb molded of butter or pastry. This butter-lamb and blessed Easter egg have a place of honor on the festive Easter table. In Rome on Holy Saturday there is an old custom which is still in practice.
