Armenian Heritage (Page 6)

The Armenian people and the Armenian Church have survived and thrived for more than 1,700 years. Our history tells our story of struggle and triumph and is much richer that the dark chapter of the Armenian Genocide that we are well known for. Our culture—our language, art, and faith—are precious to our community. Our many wonderful traditions continue to be handed down from parent to child.

“How the Badarak Works: Functions, Agents and Roles”-Fr. Findikyan Presentation Fri. Sept 30

Few would disagree that the Divine Liturgy of the Armenian Church is beautiful and mystical. Yet for many the Badarak is little more than an archaic pageant, and doesn’t seem to accomplish anything.
