As a testament to its unwavering faith—despite the past year’s extraordinary global suffering and tribulations—the Armenian Church celebrated the Feast of the Nativity and Theophany (Asdvadzahaydnoutiun), commemorating the birth and baptism of Jesus Christ, at New York’s St. Vartan Cathedral on January 6.
Last month, the Eastern Diocese’s Sacred Music Council hosted an informative online lecture titled “Your Voice, Vocal Health, and the Pandemic.”
On Wednesday, January 6, the Armenian Church will observe the Feast of the Nativity and Theophany of Our Lord Jesus Christ. At St. Vartan Cathedral in New York, Diocesan Primate Bishop Daniel will celebrate the Divine Liturgy and perform the “Blessing of Water” ceremony.
The Nativity and Baptism of Jesus Christ will be observed under strict safety regulations at New York’s St. Vartan Armenian Cathedral on Tuesday and Wednesday, January 5 and 6, 2021.
In a year like no other, the birth of Jesus Christ reminds us that God’s comfort is a living, personal reality, says Bishop Daniel. Watch and read his Christmas message to the faithful of the Eastern Diocese, in English and Armenian.
