Father Jirayr Tashjian celebrated Divine Liturgy at St. Peter's Church in Wasllow for the Armenian Mission Parish in Birmingham with the blessings of the Primate His Grace Bishop Hovakim Manukyan. Yurik Martirosyan, Artur Tumanyan and conductor Krikor Najarian assisted the priest in Divine Liturgy. Besides preaching on the meaning of that important day, Father Jirayr shared with the congregation the good news of Christ' resurrection as it is the tradition of Orthodox Churches to proclaim the Jesus's resurrection for 40 days until the feast of ascension. At the end of the liturgy a festive luncheon was organised by local congregation. The feast of Annunciation is one of the Dominical feasts of the Armenian Church. It is based on the Gospel episode of annunciation of Gabriel to Mary about her conception at the house of Elizabeth the Mother of John the Baptist. The feast is celebrated by the Armenian Church on April 7th. It has fixed date. The Western and Byzantine Churches celebrate it on March 25. April 7th is also Mother's Day in Armenia. On this occasion we do congratulate our mothers and sisters. «Վեցերորդ ամսին Գաբրիել հրեշտակն Աստծու կողմից ուղարկվեց Գալիլիայի մի քաղաքը, որի անունը Նազարեթ էր, մի կույսի մոտ, որ նշանված էր Հովսեփ անունով մի մարդու հետ՝ Դավթի տնից: Եվ այդ կույսի անունը Մարիամ էր» (Ղուկ. Ա 26-27): 5 Armenian Church News SPIRITUALITY - FREQUENTLY-ASKED QUESTIONS ON THE BADARAK: THE DIVINE LITURGY OF THE ARMENIAN CHURCH The next feature on Badarak, using V. Rev. Fr. Daniel Findikyan’s excellent book, published by St. Vartan Press in 2009. WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE BADARAK? One could list many parts of the Badarak that are theologically rich or spiritually moving; rituals that are particularly impressive; elements of the ceremony that are historically significant or inspirational on a personal level. Anyone who participates regularly in the Badarak will surely have his or her own idea of the most important part of the service. From the perspective of the overall intent of the Divine Liturgy, however, based on the importance that Jesus gave the Eucharist when he instituted it at his last supper, and based, furthermore, on the objectives and vision of those who assisted in compiling the service, there are two moments in the Badarak that are most important: Holy Communion and the reading of the Gospel. In both of these mysteries or “sacraments” of the Divine Liturgy, God comes to be with us. In Holy Communion God comes to be with us by means of the Body and Blood of his Son, Jesus Christ. As for the reading of the Holy Gospel, our church fathers insist that we are not simply hearing ancient words of wisdom, but are encountering the very Word of God, Jesus Christ, who comes to be with His church and with each one of us. In this way, through the Divine Liturgy, we become truly filled with the loving presence of our Lord Jesus Christ; with his divine power, and with his transforming grace. DO THE BREAD AND WINE REALLY TURN INTO THE BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST? According to the faith and teachings of the Armenian Church and all other ancient, apostolic churches (Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and some others), what we receive in Holy Communion is not mere bread and wine, but truly the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. This is the unshakeable conviction of the Armenian Church tradition, clearly reflected in the prayers and hymns of our Badarak. The vast body of theological, spiritual, and philosophical writings of the great Armenian saints and intellectuals throughout history is unanimous on this point. This article of faith derives from the Bible. On the night before he died, Jesus took bread into his hands and said, “This is my body.” Over the cup of wine he said, “This is my blood.” He then distributed these to his disciples, commanding them to “Do this in remembrance of me.” In the Gospel according to John, Jesus says, “I am the bread of life” [John 6:35]. Those listening to him assumed that Jesus was speaking metaphorically or symbolically and not literally.

    Social and Economic Aspects of Education in Modern Society ART ONE THE PECULIARITIES OF MODERN MUSICAL FOLKLORE OF SHIRAK Hasmik Harutyunyan, PhD in Art Studies, Yerevan State Conservatory after Komitas Gyumri Branch (Director), Shirak Centre for Armenological Studies NAS RA Hasmik Matikyan, PhD in Philology, Yerevan State Conservatory after Komitas Gyumri Branch (Lecturer), Shirak Centre for Armenological Studies NAS RA DOI: https://doi.org/10.31435/rsglobal_conf/25122020/7307 Abstract. In different rural communities of Shirak region nowadays live representatives of the Armenain generation who have immigrated from Western Armenia and bear unique musical specimen. They are folk and national multi-genre song types and musical instrumental works. In the article we have touched upon 100 folk songs compiled from the folkloristic material organized in about 20 communities of Shirak region in 2015 March-April, that not only give us common notion of the song tradition of our compatriots migrated from Moush and Alashkert, in 2015, but they also certify that the tradition of folk song creativity is alive and coexists next to the very different modern cultural manifestations. Keywords: Ethnomusicology, Musical folklore, Shirak regon, traditional music, folk song, study, revival. The musical heritage of Shirak of the 19th-20th centuries has its unique place and role in the development of the Armenian national music. The rich musical folklore, imbued with the genre- stylistic features of the musical dialects of Western Armenia, became the basis for the unprecedented development of the professional music of the oral tradition and the creation of a valuable heritage. From the second half of the 19th century Armenian philologists and musician-folklorists became interested in the flourishing art of the Armenian bards and folk music players of Shirak.

  • Armenian Culture from the Semiotic Perspective
    Culture Studies Armenian Folia Anglistika Armenian Culture from the Semiotic Perspective Armine Matevosyan, Manana Dalalyan Yerevan State University Abstract The present paper goes along the lines of Semiotics, a branch of linguistics. It studies the system of signs which takes the form of words, images, sounds, gestures and objects. Through the usage of signs we represent the linguocultural aspect of our knowledge, ethnic traditions and folklore. The interest we take in the paper is the study of signs and symbols in Armenian culture. Culture, including miniature paining, singing, dancing, architecture and cuisine, may involve any sphere of Armenian identity. Signs and symbols that constitute language and culture are constructed through verbal and non-verbal interactions and are arbitrary. The purpose of our analysis is to specify what why, whom questions in a specific context of situation, as well as in a large context of culture, such as social community, media and communication. Key words: semiotics, culture, communication through signs, cultural identity, science of signs, cuisine, visual signs. Introduction Semiotics is the study of signs and sign using behavior. It was defined by Swiss linguist Ferdinand de Saussure as the study of “the life of signs within society”. It is an academic field dedicated to the study of signs. A sign (for example, the word ship) may be recognized by the presence of its constituent parts, which in semiotic theories is based on the signifier (the container, or the sign's perceptible form: the letters s-h-i-p) and the signified (the meaning or content; the notion conveyed by the signifier: a vessel of considerable size for deepwater navigation).

  • An Interview Wi Th by Jovana TOM BOZIGIAN Grew up in the Armenian Community in Fresno, Cal- Ifornia, Where He Learned the Dances
    Toran intervienw wi th by Jovana TOM BOZIGIAN grew up in the Armenian community in Fresno, Cal- ifornia, where he learned the dances and the music of the Armenian immigrants. Tom studied at Fresno State University, and until re- cently, he used his Master of Education to teach the Russian lang- uage in Los Angeles schools. He is especially interested in co- ordinating the Armenian community with the non-ethnic community: "I'm teaching about the Armenians, & I'm doing it through dance. " He has given many dance workshops around the United States and in Canada and taught at several folk dance camps in 1973. Tom is also a solo dancer with the Armenian Folkloric Ensemble in Los An- geles. He is currently studying Armenian dance and folklore in Soviet Armenia under a grant program. This interview was given in July of 2973 at Stockton Folk Dance Camp. 4 WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF ARMENIA? The most accepted theory is that the Armenians migrated from Thrace, northern Greece or southern Bulgaria, around 2300 BC, across Anatolia to eastern Turkey and the Caucasus. They traveled with their leader, Haik, and from this we take our name, Hai. Hai in Armenian means "Armenian". They settled and assimilated with a group of people called Urartians and gradually built an empire. Armenia is first mentioned by chroniclers about 700 BC. The dynasty got to a very strong point just prior to the birth of Christ and after. During this period, trade was going on with the Persians, or Iranians, and with the Greeks of course; the Greeks are very much a part of our history.

Bardakjian, Chair Associate Professor Carol B. Bardenstein Emeritus Professor Gerard J. Libaridian Associate Professor Ara Sanjian, University of Michigan - Dearborn Professor Ronald G. Suny Professor Khachig Tölölyan, Wesleyan University ©Vahe Sahakyan 2015 To my parents ii Acknowledgments The completion of this project owes much to a large number of scholars, academics and intellectuals, friends and family members. My academic journey in diaspora studies began due to my training as a sociologist at Yerevan State University, Armenia. My sociological curiosity was quick to capture the significant differences in how Armenianness was experienced and expressed in the diaspora, when I first encountered third-fourth generation Armenian-Americans upon my arrival at the University of Michigan as a Junior Faculty Development Program visiting scholar in Fall 2004. This generous grant I was awarded by the US Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs provided me a possibility to spend a year at one of the leading American universities, where my interest in Armenian diasporic identities and institutions took shape. Frequent and often endless conversations with Kevork Bardakjian and Gerard Libaridian provided additional impetus to my curiosity. It was due to their continued encouragement and support that two years after returning to Armenia I finally decided to apply and was admitted to the Ph.D.

    WESTERN SILK ROAD NATIONAL SWOT ANALYSIS (ARMENIA) REPORT OF RUSSIAN-ARMENIAN UNIVERSITY 1. INTRODUCTION The Great Silk Road was an ancient system of trade routes between the East and the West. It stretched from China and reached the Mediterranean Sea. This net was used from the 2nd century BC up to the 16th century AD and even more. Many people assume that Silk Road first served as a route for exporting Chinese silk to Western countries, however many findings show that different goods produced in different countries were exported and imported – the road was a good opportunity for exchange of goods between many countries. As it is known, a long list of exotic goods comprised: frankincense and myrrh, jasmine and amber, cardamom and nutmeg, ginseng and bile of a python, carpets and fabrics, dyes and minerals, diamonds, jade, corals, ivory and "fish tusks", gold and silver bullions, fur and coins, bows, arrows, swords and spears. Horses, camels and elephants, rhinoceros and lions, cheetahs and gazelles, hawks and falcons, peacocks, parrots and ostriches passed the routes of Silk Road to be sold for higher prices. Cultivated crops, such as grapes, peaches, apricots, melons, vegetables as well as spices and sugar enhanced their geographic distribution with the help of merchants. Aside from movement of goods and animal trade, Silk Road served as a channel for dissemination of fashion and artistic styles that became widespread in a new ethno-cultural environment. Besides, the Great Silk Road played a tremendous role in dissemination of religious ideas. On the routes of the Silk Road different missionaries "carried" their faith to foreign lands.
