This evening the Armenian Apostolic Church will start celebrating the
Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Feast of Resurrection is
called also Easter (Zatik), which means estrangement from sins and
return to God.

On this day people color eggs, symbolizing the resurrection and start
of new life, and the red color symbolizes the blood of Jesus Christ,
shed for our salvation.

The Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin and the Shoghakat TV Company,
working in conjunction with the Public TV of Armenia, announce the
live global telecast of the Pontifical Divine Liturgy on Easter Sunday
in Holy Etchmiadzin. The celebrant will be His Holiness Karekin II,
Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians.

Armenian communities throughout the world will be able to watch
Easter Divine Liturgy broadcast live from the Mother Cathedral of
Holy Etchmiadzin on Sunday morning, April 8, on the Armenian Public
TV available through satellite providers.
