4 Communiqué
September 16, 2018 became a very special day for the Holy Trinity Armenian Apostolic Church family. The Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross was celebrated in a ceremonious way by the Pastor and Board of Trustees. The Divine Liturgy was celebrated by His Grace Bishop Torkom Donoyan. Present at the Badarak were representatives of the Executive Council from Los Angeles. Following the Soorp Badarak, the parishioners were led by a procession for the “Antasdan” Service held in the courtyard of the church, where it was decorated with basil - “reyhan..” This very special occasion will leave a mark in the history of the Holy Trinity Armenian Church.
The same day, the Pastor and Board of Trustees had planned a special luncheon in honor of His Grace. Very Rev. Fr. Dajad Ashekian did the opening prayers. The purpose of the luncheon was for the Serpazan to be acquainted with our community and the work that they do.
Master of Ceremonies was Deacon Mark Shirin. He welcomed His Grace as well as those present who came representing the various church aid organizations such as the Men’s Society, Ladies’ Guild, and Choir. Also present were representatives from the Soghomon Tehlirian Gomideh, Homenetmen Fresno Sassoon Chapter, Hamazkayin “Fresno Taniel Varoujan” Chapter, and the Armenian Relief Society, Mayr and Sophia Chapters. He also welcomed the Executive Council representatives.
To honor His Grace Donoyan, Very Rev. Fr. Dajad Ashekian and Board Chair, Bill Sahatdjian, presented him with “a beautiful Launchkatch and Banag.”
His Grace Donoyan thanked the Fresno Holy Trinity Church Community and then spoke about the importance of prayer. He also mentioned that everyone possesses special gifts and that we should appreciate that. He concluded that everyone needs prayers, especially himself.
His Grace Donoyan also complimented the Parish Priest, Board of Trustees and the Choir who celebrated the Feast of the Holy Cross with him in such a venerated manner at Holy Trinity Armenian Apostolic Church.
The luncheon concluded after His Grace Donoyan did the closing prayer.

8 Pass it On By: Krista Parnagian
Spilled Apples
A few years ago a group of salesmen went to a regional sales convention in Chicago. They had assured their families that they would be home in plenty of time for Friday night's dinner. In their rush, with tickets and briefcases, one of these salesmen inadvertently kicked over a table which held a display of baskets of apples. Apples flew everywhere. Without stopping or looking back, they all managed to reach the plane in time for they nearly missed boarding. All but one. He paused, took a deep breath, got in touch with his feelings, and experienced a twinge of compassion for the girl whose apple stand had been overturned. He told his buddies to go on without him, waved goodbye, and told one of them to call his wife when they arrived at their home destination and explain his taking a later flight. Then he returned to the terminal where the apples were all over the terminal floor. He was glad he did. The young girl who worked at the apple stand was totally blind! She was softly crying, tears running down her cheeks in frustration, and at the same time helplessly groping for her spilled produce as the crowd swirled about her, no one stopping, and no one to care for her plight. The salesman knelt on the floor with her, gathered up the apples, put them into the baskets, and helped set the display up once more. As he did this, he noticed that many of them had become battered and bruised; these he set aside in another basket. When he had finished, he pulled out his wallet and said to the girl, "Here, please take this $20 for the damage we did. Are you okay?" She nodded through her tears. He continued on with, "I hope we didn't spoil your day too badly." As the salesman started to walk away, the bewildered blind girl called out to him, "Mister..." He paused and turned to look back into those blind eyes. She continued, "Are you Jesus?" He stopped in mid-stride, and he wondered. Then slowly he made his way to catch the later flight with that question burning and bouncing about in his soul: "Are you Jesus?"
Message: Do people mistake you for Jesus? That's our destiny, is it not? To be so much like Jesus that people cannot tell the difference as we live and interact with a world that is blind to His love, life and grace. If we claim to know Him, we should live, walk and act as He would. Knowing Him is more than simply quoting scripture and going to church. It's actually living the word as life unfolds day to day. You are the apple of His eye even though we, too, have been bruised by a fall. He stopped what He was doing and picked you and me up on a hill called Calvary and paid in full for our damaged fruit. Let us live like we are worth the price He paid.

13 DID YOU KNOW?
Armenia is a nation, and former Soviet republic, in the mountainous Caucasus region straddling Asia and Europe. Armenia’s official name is Republic of Armenia. It is located between the Black and Caspian Seas, Armenia is bordered on the north and east by Georgia and Azerbaijan, and on the south and west by Iran and Turkey. Official language is Armenian. As of 1 January 2016, the population of Armenia was estimated to be 3,022,866 people. Yerevan is the capital and largest city of Armenia, and one of the world’s oldest continuously inhabited cities (for over 2,700 years).
Lake Sevan is the largest body of water in Armenia and the Caucasus region. It is one of the largest freshwater high-altitude lakes in Eurasia. The lake is situated in the central part of Armenia, in the Gegharkunik Province, at the altitude of 1,900 m (6,200 ft) above sea level.
The whole country is 400 meters (1,300 feet) above sea level, and is mainly mountainous with a few forests.
Mount Aragats is an isolated four-peaked volcano massif in Armenia. Its northern summit, at 4,090 meters (13,420 feet) above sea level, is the highest point of the Lesser Caucasus and Armenia.
The country’s national symbol is Mt. Ararat. But Mt. Ararat is actually located in Turkey. And while it may actually be inside of Turkey, Armenians get a phenomenal view of it, most famously, from Khor Virap.
The Khor Virap is an Armenian monastery located in the Ararat plain in Armenia, near the border with Turkey, about 8 kilometers (5 miles) south of Artashat, Ararat Province. The monastery was host to a theological seminary and was the residence of Armenian Catholicos.
The Tatev monastery is a 9th-century Armenian Apostolic monastery located on a large basalt plateau near the Tatev village in Syunik Province in southeastern Armenia.
Wings of Tatev, a cableway from Tatev to Halidzor village was opened in October 2010. It was included in the Guinness World Records as world’s “longest non-stop double track cable car.”
Geghard is a medieval monastery in the Kotayk province of Armenia, being partially carved out of the adjacent mountain, surrounded by cliffs. It is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.While the main chapel was built in 1215, the monastery complex was founded in the 4th century by Gregory the Illuminator at the site of a sacred spring inside a cave.You can find more information and Pictures at the following website: http://justfunfacts.com/interesting-facts-about-armenia/ 14
