Hundreds of Armenian youth from around the globe converged on their homeland last week for the Armenian Church Youth Organization World Pilgrimage—an historic gathering marking the organization’s 25th year.
In the Dark About the Transfiguration
Three disciples come face-to-face with the mind-boggling nature of God. How do they react? And is there a lesson for us in their experience? That’s the question the church poses in the Feast of the Transfiguration—which the Armenian Church will observe on Sunday, July 27.
Servant of a Personal God
Elisha the Prophet (the saint remembered by the Armenian Church this year on July 17) was a wonderworker whose miracles—healing the diseased, the multiplication of loaves, raising a child from death—anticipated those of Christ.
The Illuminator’s Final Years
On Saturday, June 21, the Armenian Church will observe one of several feast days associated with St. Gregory the Illuminator. This particular feast is dedicated to the saint’s later years and the discovery of his relics.
