9 A Reminder'. All are remili~i"edthat it is our tradition to stand in prayer during the Easter season. There are two postures for prayer during the period from Easter to Pentecost standing or sitting. We all kneel agaln ln prayer fifty days from the Resurrection of Our Lord to the special Pentecost "Kneeling Prayers." This tradition gives visible sign of our belief that God revealed something wonderful by the resurrection of Christ, namely that human life is eternal and immortal because it is sharing in the fife of God Himself. We stand during this period to proc!aim our awareness that we are not "slaves" but "children" of the Heavenly Father-we are the sons and daughters of the Most High. Unlike most slaves who, in the lands of the East, had to knee! when they were in the presence of their master, we stand in the presence of our 1 Fatfier. 'v"ve are, because of His gift of life, His heirs. We stand in recognition of this great honor. You are also reminded that... we "joyously" sing the Easter Tropar (Christ is Risen from the dead) for forty days until Ascension Thursday. This Tropar should be sung with enthusiasm (it is not a funeral dirge). lt should be sung wlth a lively and spirited pace! Holy Name Society: Sunday, April 14th, 2013 is Holy Name Society Sunday. All members are asked to pray together, receive the Holy Eucharist as a group and attend a short meeting immediately after liturgy. New members are always welcome to join this society.

The Ange! stood by the tomb and cried out to the women bringing ointment: * "Ointments are for the dead, * but Christ has shown Himself not subject to corruption.* So now cry out: 'The Lord has risen, * bestowing great mercy upon the world." * Kontakion: Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
