Good morning! Since today is Easter Sunday, today's Navajo Word of the Day is "Jesus Daaztsá̜á̜dé̜é̜' Náádiidzáhígíí Bééhániih," which is how you say "Easter" in Navajo. The breakdown:

Jesus
Daaztsá̜á̜dé̜é̜': from the dead
Náádiidzáhígíí: the One who returned
(Bee: by means of it)
Bééhániih: we remember

For this video, I was able to get my good friend, Pastor Elizabeth Bryant, help me with this video. :-) She even sang "I Remember Calvary" in Navajo! For those who want the short lyrics for the chorus line of "I Remember Calvary," here it is:

Jesus shá yigááł t'áá ákwíí jí̜
(Jesus guides me daily)

Jesus shá yigááł t'áá'ałtsogóó
(Jesus guides me everywhere)

T'áá'aaníí  ak'is shá nilí̜
(Truly, He's my friend)

Háálá Calvary béénáshniih
(Therefore I remember Calvary)

Be blessed people, and Happy Easter! :-)
