The worldwide Armenian Church marked one of its five major feast days on Sunday, September 11, with the celebration of Khatchveratz: the Exaltation of the Holy Cross.

Today, September 8, the worldwide Armenian Church celebrates the Feast of the Nativity of the Holy Mother-of-God.

In the shadow of that infamous date, September 11, we offer a meditation on the reality of suffering, and the power of the Cross in Armenian Christian spirituality.
