COMMUNION AND EASTER FESTIVITIES FOR STUDENTS
AT ST. GREGORY IN PHILLY
Last Saturday, April 15, St. Gregory the Illuminator Sunday School of

egg hunt. An unprecedented number of students and children, ages three
through eighteen, attended the early morning service.
Prior to the service, the pastor of the church, Rev. Fr. Nerses
Manoogian, using a red dyed Easter egg as a prop, gave a brief history of
the Armenian tradition of the red colored egg and how it relates to the
Resurrection.
Assisting Der Hayr on the Altar for Holy Communion were Derek Dervishian
and Evan Mazmanian. Reading the confession on behalf of the penitents were
three of the older students, Abbie Bass, Rita Komrokian, and Jorin Schug.
Following Holy Communion, everyone convened in Terhanian Hall for a
delicious breakfast, donated, prepared and served by the Ladies' Guild. The
morning event ended with the traditional Easter Egg Hunt outdoors with the
children running happily to see how many eggs they could collect.

TIME MAGAZINE'S SELECTIONS
TIME magazine asked earlier honorees whom they would select as the
world's most influential people. In the April 17 issue, Pulitzer Prize
winning author Samantha Power nominated Turkish novelist Orhan Pamuk. She
wrote: "He has acknowledged his homeland's genocide against the Armenians
and nearly got himself arrested before the Turks decided their commitment to
and pride in their greatest writer exceeded a commitment to killers who died
almost a century ago."
PAN-ARMENIAN WRITERS CONFERENCE IN ANTELIAS
The Third Pan-Armenian Writers' Conference ended on April 9 at the
Catholicosate of Cilicia in Antelias, Lebanon. The president of the Writers'
Union of Armenian, Levon Ananian, thanked His Holiness Aram I on behalf of
the participants. Mr. Ananian expressed his gratitude not only for the
organization of the conference, but for the love, support, care and
commitment that the Pontiff shows towards Armenian writers and culture. The
conference was the initiative of the Writers' Union of Armenia in
cooperation with the Assembly of Lebanese-Armenian Writers. More than 300
Armenian writers from Armenia, Nagorno Karabagh, Lebanon, the Middle East,
Europe, Northern and Southern America, Canada and Australia gathered in
Antelias to participate in the conference.
In his concluding remarks, His Holiness proposed that in the future more
time be reserved for discussion sessions, which should include more
questions than statements. He suggested penetrating into the heart of the
presented topics and bringing problems clearly into the spotlight. His
Holiness said that we must bravely face difficult and sensitive issues
rather than ignoring them. As an example he mentioned the issue of
dictation, noting that as one of the strong factors of the Armenian nation's
unity, the matter needs to be discussed. He also spoke about the
deterioration in the quality in all fields of Armenian literature and called
for establishing a new level of quality with collective efforts and
commitment.
YELLOW RIBBON CAMPAIGN TO PROTEST
RECALL OF AMBASSADOR JOHN EVANS
A press release we received today informs us of a "Yellow ribbon campaign
to protest the recall of U.S. Ambassador to Armenia John Marshall Evans for
publicly acknowledging the Armenian Genocide. The campaign is organized by a
recently formed ad-hoc group based in Armenia called, "Armenian Americans in
Armenia and Friends."
On April 24, when hundreds of thousands of people will converge on the
Tsitzernakaberd Memorial in Yerevan, the Yellow Ribbon Campaign will
commence by participants tying yellow ribbons on 100-meter long ropes
stretched along the walking path leading to the Genocide Monument.
THIS SUNDAY IS "NEW SUNDAY"
Easter Sunday is followed by a period of fifty days (Hinoonk) during
which there are no fasting days or saints days. This period, from the
Resurrection to Pentecost (Hogegaloost) is dedicated to the glorification of
the Resurrection. Each of the seven Sundays of Hinoonk has a separate name.
This Sunday, the first Sunday after Easter, is called New Sunday (Nor
Kiraki), since the first day of the week through Christ's resurrection
became consecrated and Sunday became a dominical day. By virtue of its being
the eighth day of Easter and a day similar to Easter, it is also called
Second Easter (Grgnazadig).
LET US ALSO REMEMBER THE PRESENT
Certainly we need not remind anyone that Monday is April 24-a solemn day
of remembrance for Armenians all over the world. The first six items in this
week's Crossroads are directly related to April 24th and the various
commemorations that will take place in our area.
What does need reminding is that genocide, unfortunately, is not just
something of the past, but very much of the present, and we above others
have an obligation to be involved.
The Save Darfur Coalition will have a rally at the U.S. Capitol on April
30, beginning at 1:30 pm. The rally is part of their "Million Voices for
Darfur" campaign which has a goal of one million postcards addressed and
delivered to President Bush, urging him to take steps to stop the genocide
in Darfur. For more information go to: www.savedarfur.org/rally.
Nicholas Kristof, a columnist for the New York Times who is of Armenian
ancestry, last week won a Pulitzer Prize for his many columns that have
brought international attention to the genocide in Darfur. He is a frequent
traveler to troubled areas and a voice for those who have no voice.
