On March 20, Armenian Churches worldwide will observe
Palm Sunday, the feast of Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem. On this day
the altar curtain, which remains closed in the Armenian Church during Great
Lent, will be re-opened with the special Turen-Patzek (door-opening) service.
Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week—the sacred
commemoration of the dramatic events leading to the Resurrection of Jesus
Christ, his victory over death, and the redemption of humanity and the fallen
world. The Armenian Church re-enacts these episodes in the days leading up to
Easter.

ACYOA Day
On Palm Sunday parishes throughout the Eastern Diocese
will celebrate ACYOA Day. Parishes have traditionally used this occasion to
focus attention on the ACYOA and to celebrate the organization’s contributions
to the Armenian Church. This year 10 parishes will be visited by members of the
Diocese’s Department of Youth and Young Adult Ministries and the ACYOA Central
Council.
