When Jesus entered Jerusalem “they took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” Blessed is the King of Israel!” (John 12:13).       The week following Palm Sunday is known as Holy Week and each day of that week, Monday to Saturday, is called ‘Holy' because each day of this week symbolises events that took place after our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ entered Jerusalem. The events end with the celebration of the glorious Resurrection. The readings from the Holy Gospels describe that period from Jesus' entry into Jerusalem until the fulfilment of the divine plan of salvation. The lections from the Old Testament read during this period and the hymns remind us of the need for salvation.   Read more about Holy Week in the newsletter.   MOTHER'S DAY AT BISHOP'S HOUSE     Bishop Hovakim Manukyan warmly welcomed ACT UK members, parish members and Primate's committee members to Primate's office and residence on Mother's Day, after his move to the new residence.     Read more   ECUMENIC MEETINGS    His Grace Bishop Hovakim Manukyan participated in 2 Ecumenic meetings in March - meeting of Bishops of West London and Catholic- Oriental Orthodox Regional Forum.     JOIN OUR EASTER CELEBRATIONS   GO TO OUR ASK THE BISHOP SECTION ON THE WEBSITE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, IDEAS, SUGGESTIONS AND CONCERNS     Read about these topics in detail, learn about upcoming events and more in our newsletter     Registered office address: Kemp House 152-160 City Road, London EC1V 2NX Correspondence address: 27 Haven Green,  London W5 2NZ   0208 998 921   primatesoffice@armeniandiocese.org.uk   Website : armeniandiocese.org.uk     This email was sent to tr8seta@gmail.com You received this email because you are registered with the Armenian Diocese of the UK and Ireland to receive our newsletters   Unsubscribe here     © 2016 Armenian Diocese of the UK and Ireland
