Armenian Catholic Churches Celebrate the Palm Sunday with Live Broadcasting on their Social Media Accounts

06.04.2020

Due to the Covid-19 virus, which surrounds the world and our country, the Holy Week and Easter rituals are being held in churches and transmitted to the congregation via social media.

The Entrance of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem (Dzağgazart or the Palm Sunday) celebration of the Armenian Catholic community was held at the Taksim Hovhan Vosgeperan Catholic Church closed to the public as part of the Coronavirus measures. The parish priest Fr. Vartan Kazanciyan, Fr. Abraham Firat and deacons were present at the mass broadcasted via social media.

Some verses recited on the Feast of Dzağgazart are:

Zechariah 9. chapter 9-10 verses:

Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion!
    Shout, Daughter Jerusalem!
See, your king comes to you,
    righteous and victorious,
lowly and riding on a donkey,
    on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
I will take away the chariots from Ephraim
    and the warhorses from Jerusalem,
    and the battle bow will be broken.
He will proclaim peace to the nations.
    His rule will extend from sea to sea
    and from the River[b] to the ends of the earth.

Matthew 21: 1-9 

 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.”

This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:

“Say to Daughter Zion,
    ‘See, your king comes to you,
gentle and riding on a donkey,
    and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’”

 The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them. They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them for Jesus to sit on. A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted,

“Hosanna to the Son of David!”

“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” 

“Hosanna in the highest heaven!”
