Scripture Readings - Bright week ( Heworo) Days

Christ is Risen !, Indeed He is Risen !! 

Heworo Days Bright Week (Heworo) is a unique time in our liturgical calendar where the joy of the Resurrection is so abundant that it overflows into every day of the week. To emphasize this "new life," the Church assigns a specific Liturgical Tone to each day, moving sequentially through the tones, as well as Scripture Readings for each day . The structure reminds us that the Resurrection is not just a one-day event, but a reality that reorders our entire sense of time. Ideally,  Holy Qurbana is celebrated on every one of these days.   Pray we use and apply these
