Tuesday, December 7, marks 33 years since the earthquake that rocked Armenia. December of 1988 was a time of heartache for all Armenians. But its aftermath brought our people together, opened a new path in our national history, and offered lessons that remain powerful, and meaningful, in our present day.
Join the worldwide #GivingTuesday movement today, Tuesday, November 30, by offering a gift to the Eastern Diocese. In this critical time, #GivingTuesday is a way to show thanks to the causes that bring meaning and enrichment to your life.
To mark Thanksgiving, Diocesan Primate Bishop Daniel issued a special greeting to the faithful of the Eastern Diocese:
The past two years have brought so many challenges and hardships. Sometimes the darkness has seemed relentless. Yet throughout this time, the generous, supportive spirit of the Armenian people has been a shining beacon.
Today marks a very solemn milestone in the modern history of the Armenian people. It was one year ago, on November 9, 2020, that the Artsakh war ended, after 44 days of brutal conflict, initiated through an unprovoked surprise attack on our homeland.
