To symbolically proclaim Christ's resurrection to the entire world, churches of the Byzantine liturgical tradition read a Paschal Gospel lesson--the Divine Liturgy Gospel reading for those of Slavic traditions, and the "Agape" Vespers reading for those of the Greek tradition--in many languages. With this tradition in mind, I have several PDF files of these readings available for download, each with modern Carpatho-Rusyn (from one of two translations) and English (NKJV) in parallel columns. Feel free to use them and reproduce them (though not for resale), and always give credit to the translators.
