Dear Brethren in Christ,
GREETINGS, in Jesus' name! I am sending you this vitally
important SPECIAL LETTER with important announcements and
instructions about the coming PASSOVER and Days of Unleavened
Bread!
Full eight day services will be held in more places than
ever before this year, and Passover Services will be held in newly
established Churches--so, even though this letter will have to be
lengthy--be sure you read every word!
This year, the Passover comes on the date of March 31.
This corresponds to the 14th of Nisan (or Abib) in the Sacred
Calendar. (If you do not yet have one of the Sacred Calendars for
this current year, be sure to write in for one immediately.)
However, you must remember that the days begin the previous sunset!
This means that the actual Passover Service will be on Thursday
evening, March 30. Be SURE you remember this date--even writing it
down, placing it in your wallet, or carrying this letter on your
person. PASSOVER on Thursday evening, March 30, 1961. The
FEAST--the "night to be much remembered," which is the beginning of
the 15th of Nisan, begins the very next evening, or the night of
March 31. This will be a double Sabbath. This year, the first day
of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is an annual Holy Day,
corresponds exactly to the weekly Sabbath of April 1. However,
since the days begin at sunset this means that sunset on the 31st
of March, Friday, commemorates the beginning of this Feast.
The Days of Unleavened Bread continue through Friday, the
7th of April, and will be immediately followed by another weekly
Sabbath, April 8. This means we will actually have nine days of
services, since the last annual Holy Day will not be over until
sunset on Friday the 7th, and the weekly Sabbath immediately
begins!
And here's a SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT! Mrs. Armstrong and I
are overjoyed to tell you we are going to be at the Headquarters
Church, in Pasadena, for the very first Passover since 1951! We
fully expect the greatest attendance in the history of the Head-
quarters Church for this age!
