The Holy 50 Days of Joy: ዘመነ ፋሲካ - ጰራቅሊጦስ

50 Days of Joy is a meaningful guide for all ages to experience the sacred season that begins with the glorious Resurrection (ትንሳኤ) of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (Fasika) and leads to the radiant Feast of Pentecost (ጰራቅሊጦስ). Rooted in the Orthodox Tewahedo Church, this book explores the meaning of the holy season with reflections, hymns, and teachings that bring the joy and depth of Tinsae to life. Readers are invited to journey through the sacred 50 days with the timeless hymns of Saint Yared and discover the beauty of each week, beginning with the First Week of the Resurrection. Daily commemorations include Ma’adot (ማዕዶት) on Monday, Thomas (ቶማስ) on Tuesday, Lazarus (አልአዛር) on Wednesday, Adam (አዳም) on Thursday, the Church (ቤተክርስቲያን) on Friday, the Holy Women (ቅዱሳት አንስት) on Saturday, and Dagmay Tinsae (ዳግማይ ትንሳኤ) on Sunday. Special hymns such as the Hymn of the Resurrection (መዝሙር ዘትንሣኤ), the Hymn of Dagmay Tinsae (መዝሙር ዘዳግማይ ትንሣኤ), and the Hymn of the Ascension (መዝሙር ዘዕርገት) uplift the spirit and deepen one’s connection to the Church’s liturgical rhythm. The book also includes Gospel readings, teachings from the Divine Liturgy, the appearances of Christ during the 40 days, His Ascension (ዕርገት), and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost(ጰራቅሊጦስ). Whether used at home, in church, or in personal devotion, 50 Days of Joy invites children and adults alike to reflect, rejoice, and live as people of the Resurrection—renewed in faith, filled with hope, and grounded in love.
