Shifts are available in two-hour blocks. The sign-up Arabic: Al Maseeh Qam! Haqqan Qam! sheet is in the back of the church – please make sure to sign-up Armenian: Christos arjav I merelotz! Orhniale harutjun Christosi! early. Byelorussian: Khristos Uvoskros! Zaprowdu Uvoskros! Holy Friday & Paschal – If you would like to Chinese: Helisituosi Fuhuole! Queshi Fuhole! participate in any of the Holy Friday procession, please see Bob Coptic: Pikhirstof aftonf! Khen o methni aftonf! Lucak who will be coordinating these efforts. New faces are Czech: Kristus vstal zmrtvy’ch! Skutec ne vstal! ALWAYS welcome! Any youth who are interested in participating Danish: Kristus er opstanden! Ja, sandelig opstanden! on Sunday Morning, please see Cheryl Andrews! Dutch: Christus is opgestaan! Hij is waarlijk opgestaan! Pascha Altar Servers – All Altar Servers are invited and English: Christ is Risen! Indeed, He is Risen! encouraged to serve on Pascha. Estonian: Kristus on surnuist ülestõusnud! Tõesti ülestõusnud! Finnish: Kristus nousi Kuolleista! Totisesti Nousi! Church Office Closed – Please note that the church office will be French: Christ est Ressuscité! En Vérité Il est Ressuscité! closed on Holy Friday. Please submit any information to be included in the Pascha Bulletin by Wednesday, April 4th. Gaelic: Erid Krist! G’deya! n erid she! Georgian: Kriste aghsdga! Cheshmaritad aghsdga! German: Christus ist auferstanden! Er ist wahrhaftig auferstanden! ORTHODOX CHURCH ETIQUETTE Greek: Christos Anesti! Alithos Anesti! THE PLASCHINITSA Hebrew: Ha Mashiyach qam! Ken hoo qam! The Plaschinitsa is the winding sheet used during the services Hungarian: Krisztus feltámadt! Valóban Feltámadt! of Great and Holy Friday and Saturday which depicts an of Italian: Cristo è risorto! È veramente risorto! our Lord being taken down from the Cross (although some Japanese: Harisutosu Fukkatsu! Jitsu N Fukkatsu! simply have the lone, full figure of our Lord lying in repose). Latin: Christus ressurexit! Vere ressurexit! The word itself is of Russian origin and means a “shroud” (as in “burial shroud”). Its root, plasch, means an outer cloak or Norwegian: Kristus er oppstanden! Han er sannelig opstanden! mantle. The Greek word used for this same icon Polish: Khristus Zmartvikstau! Zaiste Zmartvikstau! representation is “,” which literally means “on the Portugese: Christo Ressuscitou! Em Verdade Ressuscitou! grave” or “on the tomb.” This is also from where we get the Romanian: Hristos a Inviat! Adevarat a Inviat! English word epitaph. Russian: Khristos Voskres! Voistinu Voskres! VENERATING THE PLASCHINITSA Serbian: Hristos Vaskrese! Vaistinu Vaskrese! Just as you should always venerate the icon in the center of Slavonic: Christos Voskrese! Voistinu Voskrese! the church whenever entering or exiting, so the Plaschinitsa Slovak: Kristus Vstal zmr’tvych! Skutoc ne vstal! (Burial Shroud) is to be venerated by all the faithful anytime Spanish: Cristo ha resucitado! Verdaderamente ha resucitado! they come into the church or leave it. During those services Swahili: Kristo Amefufukka! Kweli Amefufukka! when the Plaschanitsa lies in the center of the church, each Swedish: Kristus är upstaͦnden! Ja, Han är sannerligen uppstaͦnden! person should approach with all reverence making 2 Syriac: Meshiha qam! Bashrira qam! prostrations (kneeling to the ground with your forehead Ukranian: Kristos Voskres! Voistinu voskres! touching the floor), kissing both the shroud and the gospel Welsh: Atgyfododd Crist! Atgyfododd in wir! book, then making a third prostration. Since others will be waiting in line, the third prostration is best made to the side of the tomb – out of the flow of the approaching faithful. [Note: for those not able to make full prostrations due to age, knee replacements, etc., reverent bowing down from the waist is acceptable.] In addition, women should wipe their lips free of lipstick before venerating the Plaschinitsa, the Cross, or when taking Communion.
