On April 28, the Orthodox Church celebrates the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem. Traditionally, during divine services on this holiday, willows brought to the temple are consecrated.
In the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral of the city of Kurgan, Metropolitan Daniel of Kurgan and Belozersk will perform the rite of consecration of willows during the evening service on Lazarus Saturday, April 27, and after the Divine Liturgy on Palm Sunday, April 28.
Start of services: April 27 (Saturday) 17:00; April 28 (Sunday) 9 hours 30 minutes.
Lazarus Saturday, or Palm Saturday, is the Saturday of the sixth week of Lent. This week is also called Vai Week (“Vai” means palm branch), or Palm Week. On this day we remember the miracle of the resurrection of righteous Lazarus.
In the church calendar, Lazarus Saturday and the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem (Palm Sunday) are celebrated on adjacent days: Saturday and Sunday. It is interesting that the liturgical time does not coincide with the historical one: the resurrection of Lazarus occurred a month or two before the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem.
Now these two holidays are inextricably linked. They precede the events of Holy Week: the betrayal of Christ by Judas, suffering, crucifixion and the Resurrection of the Savior.
