To Armenians in the U.S., “Armenian Cultural Month” has been a feature of community life for as long as they can remember. It arrives each October—with a flurry of lectures, readings, exhibits, sacred celebrations, and events intended to remind Armenians of their rich cultural heritage.
Diocesan Primate Bishop Daniel Findikyan delivered the annual Fr. John Meyendorff Memorial Lecture to celebrate 50 years of collaboration between St. Vladimir’s Orthodox Theological Seminary and St. Nersess Armenian Seminary.
You might think it’s a misprint. Everyone knows that Jesus had exactly twelve disciples—so why does the Armenian Church calendar reserve a feast day for the Seventy-two Disciples of Christ? (We’ll observe it this Saturday, October 5.)
To be in the presence of the True Cross of Jesus Christ is a deeply felt emotional experience.
New York’s St. Vartan Armenian Cathedral will hold a special service on the evening of Sunday, September 15, to honor the major feast day known as Khatchveratz, or the Exaltation of the Holy Cross.
