Access Chair Lifts Are NOW INSTALLED!!!

admin — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 20:31:23 +0000

Hi Everyone! We currently have installed two chair lifts at the Church. One is installed outdoors to get access up the first flight of steps from the street to the landing, we have purchased a ramp to get into the building, and then an additional chair lift is installed indoors to get into the Church!

We are raising funds to help with the cost associated with these improvements. We have a Football Mania Raffle, see the post on the website for more information! You can also make a donation to the Church as well!

Feast of the Discovery of Relics of St. Gregory

admin — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 18:46:49 +0000

FEAST OF THE DISCOVERY OF RELICS OF ST. GREGORY
This Saturday, June 19, the Armenian Church commemorates one of the three feast days dedicated to St. Gregory the Illuminator: The discovery of his remains. The other two commemorations are his entrance into the pit and his deliverance from the pit.
St. Gregory is the greatest figure in the Armenian Church. He is considered to be the “Apostle of Armenia.” After years of evangelizing, St. Gregory sought solitude and an ascetic life. He eventually chose a cave on Mount Sepouh as his permanent living place. It was here that Gregory died alone. Some shepherds found his body and without realizing who he was, buried him under a pile of stones. Later a hermit, Garnik of Pasen, who had been a disciple of St. Gregory, saw a vision and went to Mount Sepouh where he found the site of Gregory’s burial. He took the remains to the village of Tordan for burial, where King Trtad was buried. Relics of St. Gregory were retained and sent to different locations as was the custom of the time. Relics from the right hand of St. Gregory are at the Holy Mother See of Etchmiadzin and the Holy See of Cilicia. The Catholicoi mix the new muron (chrism) with the old muron with the golden right hand that contains the relics.
