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. - Public Radio of Armenia
