Blessing of Easter foods a very symbolic and tasty customBY JOHN E. USALIS (STAFF WRITER jusalis@republicanherald.com) Published: Sunday, April 8, 2012

FRACKVILLE, PA - Themost joyous and holiestday on the Christiancalendar - Easter Sunday(Holy Pascha) - beganSaturday in many churchesin the area, with the earliestliturgies being celebratedat 4 p.m. at Eastern RiteCatholic churches, such asSt. Michael UkrainianCathol ic Church inFrackville.

The celebration of Christ’sResurrection in UkrainianCatholic church brings thepeople to declare inUkrainian, “KhrestosVoskres!” as the initialgreeting, followed by theresponse “Voyist innuVoskres!” (“Christ is Risen!”“Indeed He is Risen!”)

While all Roman Catholicchurches cannotcelebrate the Vigil Massbefore 8 p.m. onSaturday, the liturgicalguidelines in the Easternchurch are allowed tobegin the vigil at the earliertime. Today on EasterSunday, Protestant andCatholic (Eastern andWestern rites) will holdservices throughout themorning. Due to adifference in the liturgicalcalendars, the EasternOrthodox faithful willcelebrate Easter nextSunday.

After Saturday’s DivineLiturgy of St. Basil theGreat at Saint Michael’s,which was preceded byvespers, or eveningprayer, the traditionalblessing of the foodsserved for Holy Paschawas held in the parish hallof St. Michael. During theliturgical services, the darkvestments of the clergy, aswell as the altar linenswere changed to white, theHoly Shroud whichreposed in the tomb sinceGood Friday was placedupon the altar, and theGood News, the Gospelmessage was proclaimedfor the first time: “He isnot here, for he has beenraised just as he said,.Come and see the placewhere he lay. (Mt. 28:6).

The Very Rev. ArchpriestJohn M. Fields, pastor,conducted the blessingceremony. Other churchesalso bless the foods thatwill be served on theholiday table today.

Fields explained that manyof the foods that wereblessed and served werethose that could not beeaten during the Great Fastor Lent.

“I will bless those foodsthat could not be eatentraditionally during the timeof fast,” he said.

“Remember, whenwe began thejourney of theGreat Fast, wehad MeatfareSunday, which isreally a farewell tomeat and meatproducts, andC h e e s e f a r eSunday, which isthe final day to eatcheese and dairyproducts,” Fieldssaid. “And now asit (Great Fast) endswith thecelebration of theResurrection, weonce return toeating these meats,cheese, butter andeggs. They take ona new significance asyou refer to Scripture whenyou hear about the fattedcalf, the lamb, butter, eggsand cheese. And so, wetake on a new meaning,a Paschal meaning, ameaning for Easter.”

The tables were filled withham, kielbasi, cheeses,dyed eggs, butter andmuch more. The familiesbrought their foods inbaskets - usually reservedto be used to carry to foodsto be blessed - and placedon the tables or left in thebaskets. Each family hada l i t candle at theirlocation, another symbol

of the radiance of theResurrected Christ.

After Deacon Paul Spottswalked around the tablesincensing the food andprayers by Fields speakingof the different foods beingblessed, the pastor alsowalking along the tables,blessing the foods andparishioners with holywater and having familymembers kiss a cross heheld in his other hand,while exchanging thetradit ional Paschagreet ing: “KhrestosVoskres!” followed by theresponse “Voyist innuVoskres!” (“Christ is Risen!”“Indeed He is Risen!”).

anointing of the neophytesor newly-baptized persons,were consecrated inadvance, on GreatThursday. This practicecontinued through the latemiddle ages. The serviceof consecration of theChrism was conductedannually.

Holy Chrism, also calledHoly Myron, is a mixture

of olive oil, balsam, wineand some forty aromaticsubstances symbolizing thefullness of sacramentalgrace, the sweetness of theChristian life, and themanifold and diverse giftsof the Holy Spirit. In theBook of Exodus, Chapter30, verses 22-33, thecomposition and uses ofthe Sacred Anointing Oilin the Old Testament aredescribed.

The Holy Chrism that wasconsecrated on HolyThursday wil l bedistributed to all thechurches in thearcheparchy and is usedfor the anointing duringthe Holy Mystery ofChrismation during thereception of the Mysteriesof Initiation—Baptism,Chrismation, and HolyEucharist.

Pussy willows blessed for Flowery SundayBY JOHN E. USALIS (STAFF WRITER jusalis@republicanherald)

April 2, 2012 Republican Herald, Pottsville, Pa.

The Rev. Archpriest John M. Fields, right,assisted by Deacon Paul Spotts, blessespussy willow branches Sunday in St. Johnthe Baptist Ukrainian Catholic Church,Maizeville, Pa. (John Usalis)

MAIZEVILLE, PA -While the tradition inwestern Christ ianchurches - including theRoman Catholic, Anglicanand Lutheran - is to blessand distr ibute palmleaves on Palm Sunday,the tradit ion in theEastern Christ ianchurches subst i tutebranches from nativetrees, such as thebranches from the willowtree.

The pussy wi l lowbranches, an early showof life in nature afterwinter, were blessed onSunday, April 1 forFlowery Sunday (PalmSunday) in Easternchurches, such as St.John the BaptistUkrainian Cathol icChurch in Maizeville atthe 8:30 a.m. DivineLi turgy. The Rev.Archpriest John M. Fields,pastor, blessed thebranches at theconclusion of the service,with parishioners takingthem home to display.

“Take these blessedwillows to your homes,to adorn your icons, todecorate your crosses,and may they always bea reminder of your faith

in the Risen Lord,” Fieldssaid.

As described in the parishbulletin, “On the Sundaybefore the Feast of Greatand Holy Pascha (EasterSunday) and at thebeginning of Holy Week,the Church celebrates oneof its most joyous feasts ofthe year. Flowery/PalmSunday is thecommemoration of theentrance of our Lord intoJerusalem following Hisglorious miracle of raisingLazarus from the dead.Having anticipated Hisarrival and having heardof the miracle, the peoplewhen out to meet the Lordand welcomed Him withdisplays of honor andshouts of praise.”

During his homily, Fieldsspoke of the beginning ofHoly Week.

“In a sense this week, we’reall going up to Jerusalem,”he said. “This Sunday inJerusalem, we witness theHebrew children take thepalm fronds and branchesand calling out ‘Hosanna!Blessed is He who comesin the name of the Lord!’ “

Fields spoke of how manyof the people who cheered

Jesus Christ during Hisentrance into Jerusalemcalled for His crucifixionlater in the week.

He blessed two tables withpussy willow branches.

After the Divine Liturgy,Fields spoke of getting thepussy willow branches,which are usually collectedby parishioners from localtrees. The warm weathercaused someinconvenience this year.

“Most are collected fromaround here, though I doget some from out of thearea,” he said. “With thiswarm spring, we had to

check early, because ifyou wait too long, theyturn yellow. We toldpeople to just watch andkeep an eye on them.”

Fields explained that theuse of pussy willowbranches in Ukraine wasbecause of the greatcost of obtaining palms.

The branches weredistributed to the faithfulas they came forwardafter the Divine Liturgy,kissed the handcross ofthe priest, were anointedwith holy oil and receivedblessed bread, aliturgical rite known asmyrovaniye.

St Anne Ukrainian Catholic Church, Warrington, PA - On March 11, 2012 we held a Pysanky Workshopfor the children and parents of our Parish family. Our instructor, Natalie Pasicznyk Smith, worked diligentlyand patiently with our group and shared her knowledge of this beautiful tradition of spring passed downfrom our ancestors.

Everyone had a wonderful time and everyone went home with a homemade, decorated egg that theylearned to make that day.

On March 25, 2012 we held another Pysanky Workshop foradults which was well attended by Ukrainians and non-Ukrainians alike. Everyone was excited to learn to make thesebeautiful, decorated eggs. Our instructor, Chris Izak, slowlyand patiently took us through the step by step process andhad us all surprised at how much better our eggs turned outthan we ever expected. She also presented a video showinga master artist making her pysanky which also gave somehistorical information about the legends, meaning of the variousdesigns, and the beauty of her own pysanky. A great time washad by all and I know some of those eggs we made that daywere added to the Easter basket that we took to church forblessing this year.

Primary Election 2012 - What’s at Stake?by A. B. Hill

PCC article - April 2012

Both Democrats andRepubl icans use thePrimary Elect ion todesignate who their partydelegates will support atthe national conventionsand who will face off instatewide contests inNovember. This year,voters cast ballots forPresident of the UnitedStates, U.S. Senator,C o n g r e s s i o n a lR e p r e s e n t a t i v e s ,Pennsylvania AttorneyGeneral, Auditor Generaland Treasurer, one half ofthe Pennsylvania Senateand all of the House ofRepresentatives.

The men and women whooccupy these offices havea great deal of influenceover our future; but whatexactly do they do andwhy should Catholics care?

Let’s look a few offices:

President of the UnitedStates

Most Americans recognizethe president as someoneimportant, but we may notrealize how his decisionsaffect our daily lives.

The president is the headof state and commanderin chief, but he is alsoresponsible forimplementing andenforcing the laws passed

by Congress. He appointsa cabinet to run theagencies that make thishappen and has theauthority to issue executiveorders that clarify or furtherexisting laws.

Executive orders andgovernment agencyregulations tell us what wehave to do to comply withthe laws. For example, thelaw says Americans mustpay federal income taxes;regulations say they aredue by April 15.

P e n n s y l v a n i aAttorney General

The attorney general isPennsylvania’s chief lawenforcement off icerresponsible for prosecutingorganized crime and publiccorruption. The AG alsodefends theCommonwealth in legalproceedings, should oneof i ts statutes bechallenged in court, andreviews the legality ofproposed regulations ofstate governmentagencies. The attorneygeneral is in a position todefend religious libertyand other constitutionalconcerns.

Pennsylvania AuditorGeneral

The auditor general is

elected to oversee how ourtax dollars are spent andto ensure that governmentprograms operateefficiently and effectively,sort of a fiscal “watchdog”for the state’s taxpayers.

P e n n s y l v a n i aTreasurer

The state treasurer is thesteward of Pennsylvania’sfinancial resources. It is hisor her job to responsiblyinvest our tax dollars.

The issues facingPennsylvania presentserious moral, ethical andsocial justice questions.Each of these electedoffices, in their own way,plays a role in howPennsylvania addressesthose issues.

As faithful citizens it isimportant to ask ourselves,how do we protect humanlife and dignity? How dowe fairly share our blessingsand confront thechallenges we face? Whatkind of nation orCommonwealth do wewant? What kind of worlddo we want to shape? Thesimple answer is we mustelect leaders who sharethese values. Catholicvoters must form theirconscience around thesequestions before castingtheir ballot.

NOTE: PCC will have apresidential voter guide forthe General Election inNovember, but will notprovide one for thePrimary Election. The guidewill look at positions ofcandidates on issues likeabort ion, conscienceprotection and religiousliberty, the death penalty,education, access to healthcare, immigrat ion,marriage, economic policyand global poverty, stemcel l research, andinternational peace andjustice. A voter guide forstatewide candidates isavai lable atwww.pacatholic.org.
