Lazarus Saturday - an observance of the Orthodox Church --glorifying Christ as the Resurrection and the Life

Hymns Troparion (Tone 1) By raising Lazarus from the dead before Your passion, You did confirm the universal Resurrection, O Christ God! Like the children with the palms of victory, We cry out to You, O Vanquisher of death; Hosanna in the Highest! Blessed is He that comes in the Name of the Lord! Kontakion (Tone 2) Christ the Joy, the Truth and the Light of all, The Life of the World and the Resurrection Has appeared in His goodness to those on earth. He has become the Image of our Resurrection, Granting divine forgiveness to all! 

  Lazarus Saturday is a paschal celebration. The liturgy of Lazarus Saturday glorifies Christ as the Resurrection and the Life who, by raising Lazarus, has confirmed the universal resurrection of mankind, even before his own suffering and death. 

This liturgy is the only time in the Church year that the resurrectional service 

of Sunday is celebrated on another day. 

As such, one does not kneel during time of the consecration of the Holy gifts. 

 Lazarus Saturday was once among the few great baptismal days 

in the ecclesiastical year. 

At the Divine Liturgy of Lazarus Saturday 

the baptismal verse from Galatians: As many as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ (Galatians 3:27) replaces the Thrice-Holy Hymn.

Prologue (Canterbury tales) G. Chaucer -- April and "sweet showers"

 When April with his showers sweet with fruit 

The drought of March has pierced unto the root 

And bathed each vein with liquor that has power 

To generate therein and sire the flower; … 

Then do folk long to go on pilgrimage, 

And palmers to go seeking out strange strands, 

To distant shrines well known in sundry lands. 

And specially from every shire's end 

Of England they to Canterbury wend, 

The holy blessed martyr there to seek

 April's Full Moon will have full
