On behalf of our Primate Fr. Mesrop Parsamyan and the entire Eastern Diocese of the Armenian Church of America, we extend to you our warm good wishes on Independence Day.
Saintly Defiance
This week’s Feast of St. Daniel and His Companions (July 5) is a lesson in fidelity to God over submission to worldly forces.
Armenia’s Saint of Compassion
On Saturday, the Armenian Church will remember one of its most remarkable historical figures, during the Feast of St. Nersess the Great.
Fatherhood: Privilege, Duty, Blessing
This Sunday will be observed as Father’s Day across the United States: a chance to reflect, with gratitude, on the deeper meaning of fatherhood. While the surrounding popular culture may sometimes fail to treat fatherhood with due seriousness, the Armenian Church accords great reverence and respect to fathers.
He Loved Justice, and Hated Iniquity
In life, he was celebrated as a prolific author and novelist, who was a pioneering activist in what would later be known as the cause of human rights.
