On behalf of our new Primate, the Very Reverend Fr. Daniel Findikyan, and the entire Eastern Diocese of the Armenian Church of America, we wish all of you a happy Independence Day.
For well over a century now, Armenians have been blessed to merge our way of life with the bounty and liberty of this great nation of America. On these shores our people found a refuge from persecution, but also a land that would sustain and strengthen us as we sought to honor our heritage, and worship our Lord.
This Independence Day we renew our prayers, asking God to bless this land and her people, so that she may continue to be a great beacon of hope to our world, and a nurturing friend to our homeland.
