The Boyajian Young Choir Directors Program (BYCDP), organized by the Sacred Music Council of the Eastern Diocese, brought together a group of young Armenian faithful from across the country for three days of focused musical and liturgical training.
In the Dark About the Transfiguration
Three disciples come face-to-face with the mind-boggling nature of God. How do they react? And is there a lesson for us in their experience? That’s the question the church poses in the Feast of the Transfiguration—which the Armenian Church will observe on Sunday, July 27.
Servant of a Personal God
Elisha the Prophet (the saint remembered by the Armenian Church this year on July 17) was a wonderworker whose miracles—healing the diseased, the multiplication of loaves, raising a child from death—anticipated those of Christ.
The Man Who Remembered God
Every year, the Armenian Church reserves a day in its liturgical calendar to remember one of the more obscure figures of the Old Testament: the Prophet Zechariah. This year his saint day falls on July 15.
