The significance of the Artos is that it reminds all Christians of the events connected with the Resurrection of Christ. After His Resurrection, the Lord appeared to His disciples more than once, ate before them, and blessed their meals. After the Lord ascended to Heaven, His disciples and other followers often met for common prayer and to partake of Christ\u2019s Body and Blood. When they sat down to an ordinary meal (Agape) after the prayer services, they would leave a place at the head of the table empty for the invisibly present Lord and lay a loaf of leavened bread (Artos) on that place. It is customary to keep a portion of the Artos throughout the year and partake of it in times of illness or distress with a drink of Holy Water.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>\u0410\u0420\u0422\u041e\u0421<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 \u0446\u0435 \u043a\u0432\u0430\u0441\u043d\u0438\u0439 \u0445\u043b\u0456\u0431, \u043e\u0441\u0432\u044f\u0447\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0439 \u043d\u0430\u043f\u0440\u0438\u043a\u0456\u043d\u0446\u0456 \u0441\u043b\u0443\u0436\u0431\u0438 \u0443 \u0412\u0435\u043b\u0438\u043a\u043e\u0434\u043d\u044e \u043d\u0435\u0434\u0456\u043b\u044e \u0432 \u041f\u0440\u0430\u0432\u043e\u0441\u043b\u0430\u0432\u043d\u0456\u0439 \u0446\u0435\u0440\u043a\u0432\u0456. \u0417\u043d\u0430\u0447\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0410\u0440\u0442\u043e\u0441\u0430 \u043f\u043e\u043b\u044f\u0433\u0430\u0454 \u0432 \u0442\u043e\u043c\u0443, \u0449\u043e \u0432\u0456\u043d \u043d\u0430\u0433\u0430\u0434\u0443\u0454 \u0432\u0441\u0456\u043c \u0445\u0440\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0438\u044f\u043d\u0430\u043c \u043f\u0440\u043e \u043f\u043e\u0434\u0456\u0457, \u043f\u043e\u0432&#8217;\u044f\u0437\u0430\u043d\u0456 \u0437 \u0412\u043e\u0441\u043a\u0440\u0435\u0441\u0456\u043d\u043d\u044f\u043c \u0425\u0440\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0430. \u041f\u0456\u0441\u043b\u044f \u0412\u043e\u0441\u043a\u0440\u0435\u0441\u0456\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0413\u043e\u0441\u043f\u043e\u0434\u044c \u043d\u0435\u043e\u0434\u043d\u043e\u0440\u0430\u0437\u043e\u0432\u043e \u0437&#8217;\u044f\u0432\u043b\u044f\u0432\u0441\u044f \u0421\u0432\u043e\u0457\u043c \u0443\u0447\u043d\u044f\u043c, \u0457\u0432 \u043f\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0434 \u043d\u0438\u043c\u0438 \u0456 \u0431\u043b\u0430\u0433\u043e\u0441\u043b\u043e\u0432\u043b\u044f\u0432 \u0457\u0445\u043d\u044e \u0442\u0440\u0430\u043f\u0435\u0437\u0443. \u041f\u0456\u0441\u043b\u044f \u0432\u043e\u0437\u043d\u0435\u0441\u0456\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0413\u043e\u0441\u043f\u043e\u0434\u0430 \u043d\u0430 \u041d\u0435\u0431\u0435\u0441\u0430 \u0419\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0443\u0447\u043d\u0456 \u0442\u0430 \u0456\u043d\u0448\u0456 \u043f\u043e\u0441\u043b\u0456\u0434\u043e\u0432\u043d\u0438\u043a\u0438 \u0447\u0430\u0441\u0442\u043e \u0437\u0431\u0438\u0440\u0430\u043b\u0438\u0441\u044f \u0434\u043b\u044f \u0441\u043f\u0456\u043b\u044c\u043d\u043e\u0457 \u043c\u043e\u043b\u0438\u0442\u0432\u0438 \u0442\u0430 \u0443\u0447\u0430\u0441\u0442\u0456 \u0432 \u0422\u0456\u043b\u0456 \u0456 \u041a\u0440\u043e\u0432\u0456 \u0425\u0440\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0430. \u041a\u043e\u043b\u0438 \u0432\u043e\u043d\u0438 \u0441\u0456\u0434\u0430\u043b\u0438 \u0437\u0430 \u0437\u0432\u0438\u0447\u0430\u0439\u043d\u0443 \u0442\u0440\u0430\u043f\u0435\u0437\u0443 (\u0410\u0433\u0430\u043f\u0435) \u043f\u0456\u0441\u043b\u044f \u043c\u043e\u043b\u0438\u0442\u043e\u0432\u043d\u0438\u0445 \u0441\u043b\u0443\u0436\u0431, \u0432\u043e\u043d\u0438 \u0437\u0430\u043b\u0438\u0448\u0430\u043b\u0438 \u043c\u0456\u0441\u0446\u0435 \u043d\u0430 \u0447\u043e\u043b\u0456 \u0441\u0442\u043e\u043b\u0443 \u043f\u043e\u0440\u043e\u0436\u043d\u0456\u043c \u0434\u043b\u044f \u043d\u0435\u0432\u0438\u0434\u0438\u043c\u043e\u0433\u043e \u043f\u0440\u0438\u0441\u0443\u0442\u043d\u044c\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0413\u043e\u0441\u043f\u043e\u0434\u0430 \u0456 \u043a\u043b\u0430\u043b\u0438 \u043d\u0430 \u0446\u0435 \u043c\u0456\u0441\u0446\u0435 \u0431\u0443\u0445\u0430\u043d\u0435\u0446\u044c \u0437\u0430\u043a\u0432\u0430\u0448\u0435\u043d\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0445\u043b\u0456\u0431\u0430 (\u0410\u0440\u0442\u043e\u0441). \u041f\u0440\u0438\u0439\u043d\u044f\u0442\u043e \u0437\u0431\u0435\u0440\u0456\u0433\u0430\u0442\u0438 \u0447\u0430\u0441\u0442\u0438\u043d\u0443 \u0410\u0440\u0442\u043e\u0441\u0430 \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0442\u044f\u0433\u043e\u043c \u0440\u043e\u043a\u0443 \u0456 \u0432\u0436\u0438\u0432\u0430\u0442\u0438 \u0439\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0443 \u0440\u0430\u0437\u0456 \u0445\u0432\u043e\u0440\u043e\u0431\u0438 \u0447\u0438 \u0441\u0442\u0440\u0430\u0436\u0434\u0430\u043d\u044c \u0437\u0456 \u0441\u0432\u044f\u0442\u043e\u044e \u0432\u043e\u0434\u043e\u044e.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>CEMETERY Christmas <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decorations and spring cleanup: Please remove all Christmas arrangements by <\/span><b>March 31<\/b><b>. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If not removed, they will be removed by the cemetery committee.
