why is the first Sunday called "treasure of heaven" Sunday?
On the first Sunday of the great lent, we discuss to focus on our heavenly belongings and not on what we have. In the gospel of Matthew 6:19-21, it teaches us to let go on our earthly possessions, and to keep a simple eye. What will we do with all our possessions when we go to heaven? We will not have any use of it however much money we have. God teaches us however to focus on what we have on Earth. He has promised us a place in heaven, which is greater than anything we could ever want on earth. On this Sunday, we also are taught not to care about what comes tomorrow, as God will guide us there, as is mentioned in Matthew 6:26. We need to have faith in the Lord that he will protect us, and as long as we go in his name, no trouble will occur to us.

True or False and why
During the Great Lent; On Saturday and Sunday of the Great lent, the vespers prayer is prayed
False
On Saturday evenings, the Sunday Vespers Raising of Incense is prayed in the same manner as the Prime Raising of Incense on Saturday, with the exception that after the Gospel, the Maymar is read, followed by the Gospel Response. The remainder of the prayer is conducted as Saturday mornings.
However, On Sunday evenings, a prayer is also performed, but it is not considered as a Vespers Prayer for Monday morning, since its Gospel is a completion of the Gospel reading for the liturgy of that Sunday. This is clearly opposite to the Vespers Prayers, since the Gospels read in the evening are to be complemented by the reading in the liturgy the following day. The prayer of Sunday evening follows the same order as the Sunday Prime Raising of Incense.
