HOLY WEEK INFORMATION Grave Watch Following Vespers on Great & Holy Friday, we need people to watch guard over the tomb until 3pm on Saturday afternoon. Shifts are available in two-hour blocks. The sign-up sheet is in the back of the church please make sure to sign-up early. Holy Friday & Paschal Processions If you would like to participate in any of the Holy Friday procession, please see Phil Wienclaw or Bob Lucak who will be coordinating these efforts. New faces are ALWAYS welcome! Any youth who are interested in participating on Sunday Morning, please see Cheryl Andrews! Pascha Altar Servers All Altar Servers are invited and encouraged to serve on Pascha. ORTHODOX CHURCH ETIQUETTE THE PLASCHINITSA The Plaschinitsa is the winding sheet used during the services of Great and Holy Friday and Saturday which depicts an icon of our Lord being taken down from the Cross (although some simply have the lone, full figure of our Lord lying in repose). The word itself is of Russian origin and means a shroud (as in burial shroud ). Its root, plasch, means an outer cloak or mantle. The Greek word used for this same icon representation is Epitaphios, which literally means on the grave or on the tomb. This is also from where we get the English word epitaph. VENERATING THE PLASCHINITSA Just as you should always venerate the icon in the center of the church whenever entering or exiting, so the Plaschinitsa (Burial Shroud) is to be venerated by all the faithful anytime they come into the church or leave it. During those services when the Plaschanitsa lies in the center of the church, each person should approach with all reverence making 2 prostrations (kneeling to the ground with your forehead touching the floor), kissing both the shroud and the gospel 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.
