Soorp Badarak begins at 9:30 am Congratulations & Happy Anniversary Ralph and Ani Rafaelian received the blessings of the Lord on the 10th anniversary of their wedding before the Altar at Sts. Vartanantz Church. Men's Club continues the Clean-up of the Armenian Section of the Oakland Cemetery 18 members of the community were there today. Four new people (Anna-Marie Danayan, George Keshijian, Vark Markarian Sr. and Andrew Bagdasarian) showed up today for the cemetery clean up. They are now "hooked" with the other 31 that have done their part. We filled 70 more bags today, trimmed hedges, raked and have turned this place into something to see. All that is left to the clean up phase is a small area needs some work, some large limbs need to be cut off a tree and a sign needs to go up calling this the "Armenian Section of Oakland Cemetery". We are approaching 500 lawn bags that have been filled so far. We are almost ready for a mass grave blessing by our three church's clergy. It's planned to take place a week or two after Memorial Day. We are hoping that a large amount of people will take the time to remember these people. Next Saturday we will wrap up what's left to do and start walking through the entire cemetery and record every name where Armenians rest. Armenian flags will be placed at each one. It's still not too late to jump on this bandwagon. Steve ***************************************************** Special Coverage of the Mourad Armenian School Graduation - Hantes and our Sunday School Graduation will appear in next week's issue ************************************************************** End of the Year Bible Study and Fellowship On Monday, May 23rd, 40 members from this year's Bible Study gathered for their last session before the summer break. Everyone enjoyed a wonderful dinner together and were uplifted by Joanne Mouradjian's beautiful singing. Der Gomidas then led the Bible Study with the wisdom and grace that has blessed our Bible Study under his leadership for the past 16 years. Just months after arriving at Sts. Vartanantz Church, Der Hayr started our Bible Study Group in January of 2000. Within a short time, attendance grew and continued to grow over the years. The Monday Night Bible Study has been blessed to have as many as 70 participants. More importantly, they have become a strong, spiritual family united in their love for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It was an emotional evening for all as everyone expressed their profound gratitude to Der Gomidas for his love and dedication in guiding them into a stronger and closer relationship with our Lord. FLAG BLESSING AND PRAYERS FOR THE ARMENIAN REPUBLIC THIS SUNDAY Prelacy parishes will offer prayers of Thanksgiving for the Republic of Armenia and bless the Armenian tricolor flag on the occasion of the 98th anniversary of the Armenian Republic (May 28, 1918), and the 25th anniversary of the current Republic of Armenia (September 21, 1991), this Sunday, May 29. Requiem services will be offered for the souls of the fallen heroes of Sardarabad, Bashabaran, Gharakilise, and the martyrs in the struggle for Artsakh. “Bless, O Lord, this tricolor flag. And just as after the flood you placed your rainbow on Mt. Ararat and established a covenant with mankind, now too after the flowing of so much holy and heroic blood, may this flag with its beautiful colors be sealed as a sign of our covenant with you.” **************************************** ÚÇëáõë øñÇëïáëÇ ²õ»ï³ñ³Ý¿Ý Àëï ÚáíѳÝÝ¿ëÇ (10:22-30) ÒÙ»é ¿ñ. ºñáõë³Õ¿ÙÇ Ù¿ç ï³×³ñÇÝ Ü³õ³Ï³ïÇùÇ ïûݳϳï³ñáõÃÇõÝÁ ï»ÕÇ Ïªáõݻݳñ: ÚÇëáõë ï³×³ñÇÝ êáÕáÙáÝÇ ëñ³ÑÇÝ Ù¿ç Ϫ»ñûõ»Ï¿ñ, »ñµ Çñ ßáõñç ѳõ³ùáõ»ó³Ý Ññ»³Ý»ñÁ »õ ѳñóáõóÇÝ. ¦ ØÇÝã»õ »±ñµ Ù»ñ Ñá·ÇÝ åÇïÇ Ñ³Ý»ë. »Ã¿ ¹áõÝ »ë øñÇëïáëÁª Ûëï³Ï Áë¿ Ù»½Ç§: ÚÇëáõë å³ï³ë˳ݻó. ¦²ñ¹¿Ý ÇëÏ Ó»½Ç Áë³Í »Ù, ë³Ï³ÛÝ ã¿ù ѳõ³ï³ñ: ²ÛÝ ·áñÍ»ñÁ áñ Ðûñë ³ÝáõÝáí ÏÁ ϳï³ñ»Ù, ³ÝáÝù ÇëÏ ÏÁ íϳۻݪ ÿ áí »Ù »ë: ´³Ûó ¹áõù ã¿ù ѳõ³ï³ñ, áñáíÑ»ï»õ ÇÙ áã˳ñÝ»ñ¿ë ã¿ù: ºë áã˳ñÝ»ñë ÏÁ ׳ÝãݳÙ. ³ÝáÝù Ó³ÛÝë ÏÁ Éë»Ý »õ ÏÁ Ñ»ï»õÇÝ ÇÝÍÇ, áõ »ë ³ÝáÝó Û³õÇï»Ý³Ï³Ý Ï»³Ýù Ïáõ ï³Ù, µÝ³õ åÇïÇ ãÙ»éÝÇÝ: àã áù åÇïÇ Ï³ñ»Ý³Û ½³ÝáÝù Û³÷ßï³Ï»É ÇÙ Ó»éù¿ë: гÛñë ³Û¹ áã˳ñÝ»ñÁ ÇÝÍÇ ïáõ³õ, »õ áã áù ÏñÝ³Û Û³÷ßï³Ï»É ½³ÝáÝù ÇÙ Ðûñë Ó»éù¿Ý, áñáíÑ»ï»õ гÛñë µáÉáñ¿Ý ³õ»ÉÇ Ù»Í ¿: ºë »õ гÛñë Ù¿Ï »Ýù§: GOSPEL John 10: 22-30 Then came the Feast of Dedication at Jerusalem. It was winter, and Jesus was in the temple area walking in Solomon’s Colonnade. The Jews gathered around him, saying, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.” Jesus answered, "I did tell you, but you do not believe. The miracles I do in my Father’s name speak for me, but you do not believe because you are not my sheep. My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and my Father are one.” (On Page 1062 in your Bible) EPISTLE Hebrews 9: 1-10 Worship in the Earthly Tabernacle Now the first covenant had regulations for worship and also an earthly sanctuary. A tabernacle was set up. In its first room were the lampstand, the table and the consecrated bread; this was called the Holy Place. Behind the second curtain was a room called the Most Holy Place, which the golden altar of incense and the gold-covered ark of the covenant. This ark contained the gold jar of manna, Aaron’s staff that had budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant. Above the ark were the cherubim of the Glory, overshadowing the atonement cover. But we cannot discuss these things in detail now. When everything had been arranged like this, the priests entered regularly into the outer room to carry on their ministry. But only the high priest entered the inner room, and that only once a year, and never without blood, which he offered for himself and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance. The Holy Spirit was showing by this that the way into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still standing. This is an illustration for the present time, indicating that the gifts and sacrifices being offered were not able to clear the conscience of the worshiper. They are only a matter of food and drink and various ceremonial washings - external regulations applying until the time of the new order.

  • Maritime Romanticism Created by Jake Tedesco January, 2021
    2020 2021 Maritime Romanticism Created by Jake Tedesco January, 2021 Motivation Inspired by the artwork of Ivan Aivazovsky, students will be introduced to his maritime painting and the Romantic movement in art. In this project, students will draw a sailing ship, by following step-by- step instructions to create a vessel much like those that made the great oceans passable for exploration, transportation, and trade. In order to intensify the drawing composition, students will apply color by layering transparent washes of watercolor paints. Student Objectives • Introduce students to the marine art of Russian artist Ivan Aivazovsky. • Learn about the Romantic art movement. • Demonstrate skill in use of tools and process: pencil drawing and painting with watercolors. Historical and Cultural Connections The Romantic movement (or Romanticism) was an artistic, intellectual, and literary movement that spread throughout Europe at the end of the 18th century and was in its height during the mid 1800’s. It was considered a direct response to the Industrial Revolution. The movement focused on intense emotion as a source of inspiration. During this time, water was “left to speak for itself; the weather would play a huge part in what emotions were experienced from viewing a painting. “ For example, the sea could be depicted in many different ways. It could be painted as rough, stormy, dark, or calm, etc. Each of these evoking a different viewer experience. Ivan Aviazovsky (1817-1900) was a Romantic painter considered one of the greatest Marine artists in history. Born to an Armenian family living on the Black Sea, he later traveled to Europe.

  • Some Highlights of Russian Realism from the Golden Age Awarded an Honorary Professorship by Provincial Cities, Not Just St
    FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE By Melville Holmes In 1863, the same year that disaffection with the Paris Salon reached such a pitch that Napoleon III felt obliged to mount the Salon des Refusés, concurrent with the offcial Salon, a minor insurrection took place in the Imperial Academy in St. Petersburg, but one that would go down in the annals of Russian culture as a turning point and a milestone in the history of Russian art. A group of art students at the Academy, largely led by Kramskoi, refused to take part in a competition for a gold medal, which included the prize of a scholarship to study abroad, in Paris or Italy. The reason given had to do with certain rules of the contest and wanting the freedom to select one’s own subject matter. This was the frst time the students stood up to the authorities, though the real upshot was rather indefnite. Eight of the rebels would go on to become offcially acknowledged Academicians, including Kramskoi. In fact, the Russian Academy seems largely to have been much more kindly and encouraging to gifted artists Vasili Pukirev (1832-1890) From with fresh ideas than their Parisian The Unequal Marriage 1862 counterparts. oil on canvas 68.5 х 54” One example is Vasili Pukirev (1832- Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow 1890), best known for The Unequal The fgure on the far right is thought to be Pukirev.

  • TURNER – AIVAZOVSKY an Auspicious Encounter
    TURNER – AIVAZOVSKY An Auspicious Encounter Khatchatur I. Pilikian An abridged version of this paper was first read at the Aivazovsky International Symposium on July 23rd 1990, Theodosia, Crimea PROLOGUE Aivazovsky‘s Self-portrait. 1874 Turner‘s Self-portrait. c.1798 Oil, 74 x 58 cm. Oil, 29 x 23 inches. Uffizzi Gallery, Florence. Tate gallery, London Once upon a time there was Hovhanness Haivaz, an Armenian lad born in Theodosia, the ―God- given‖ city built by the ancient Greeks on the shores of the black sea in Crimea. He had the gift of the muses. He soon began singing, playing the violin – oriental style—and drawing on the walls with charcoal. Hovhanness became Ivan, and Haivaz stretched to Haivazovsky, Aivazian and finally was established as Aivazovsky. Ivan Aivazovsky became the greatest marine painter of Imperial Russia. Early in his carrier, he was elected a member of five Academies of Fine Arts, including those of St. Petersburg (his Alma Mater). Rome, Florence, Stuttgart and Amsterdam. He was an Academician at 27, and Professor of Marine Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg, at the age of 30. He fell in love with an Italian diva, the ballerina Maria Taglioni. She wrote to him: ―your marvellous talent makes me proud to be called an artist.‖ Lifelong friendship was sealed, although they never married. He was 25 and she 38. Falling in love anew, at 31, he married Julia Graves, an English governess in St. Petersburg. They had four daughters. After twelve years of marriage, Julia left her husband. Twenty-two years later, Aivazovsky, at 65, married Anna Boornazian, a young Armenian widow from Theodosia.

  • Important Russian Art November 26, 2018
    PRESS RELEASE | LONDON FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | 2 NOVEMBER 2018 MONUMENTAL IMPERIAL VASE AND MASTERPIECES BY AIVAZOVSKY, REPIN AND KUSTODIEV TO BE OFFERED IN THE AUCTION OF IMPORTANT RUSSIAN ART NOVEMBER 26, 2018 Previews in Moscow (November 8–10) and in London (November 22–25) London – Kicking off London’s Russian Art Week, on 26 November Christie’s Important Russian Art auction will present 268 lots featuring important paintings that are fresh to the market and valuable works of art. Highlights of the painting section include Ivan Aivazovsky's Venice at sunset, 1873 (£400,000 – 600,000, illustrated above left); Vasilii Shukhaev’s Self-portrait in a grey smock and Portrait of Vera Shukhaeva, the artist’s wife which are offered together as a single lot with an estimate of £300,000 – 500,000; and an astonishing group of works by Léon Bakst from the Constantinowitz Collection, never before seen at auction. The works of art section is highlighted by a monumental and extremely rare Imperial porcelain vase decorated with an equestrian portrait of Emperor Franz I after Johann Peter Kraft by Nesterov (£800,000 – 1,200,000, illustrated above right). RUSSIAN PAINTINGS The top lot of the sale is Ivan Aivazovsky's (1817–1900) Venice at sunset from 1873 (lot 30, £400,000 – 600,000). With its history and refined architectural landscapes, Venice captivated Aivazovsky, who first visited the city in the summer of 1840 as a recent alumnus of the Imperial Academy of Arts in St Petersburg. Renowned for his ability to paint from memory within the comfort of his own studio, which was especially equipped for large-scale canvases, Aivazovsky rarely sought to achieve topographical accuracy of a given place; rather, he aimed to convey its very essence and atmosphere.

    Dear reader, Սիրելի ընթերցող, Issue 9 2020 Welcome to our Bardez-Partez / Պարտէզ! News and Views from the Armenian Institute As we say hello to a new decade, I am left reflecting on the In this issue! one just gone, and how better to have ended it than with recognition of the Armenian Genocide by the House of Armenian Artists in the UK page 10 Representatives in the United States following a number of attempts to block the vote. Hopefully the historic vote will push the UK towards recognition, and maybe with a Prime Minister whose own great-grandfather acted to save Armenians at the time, attitudes may change. Armenia itself is also blossoming into a new era, being heralded as ‘the Culture hit’ holiday destination for 2020 by the Evening Standard, amongst others. I took some non- Armenian friends in August and they (and I) had a truly wonderful time - drinking the wine, eating the glorious food, and discovering the heritage sites. We even managed to hike National Lottery Grant pages 12-13 part of the Transcaucasian Trail (I have the badge to prove it), meeting people from all over Europe as we did so. Furthermore, the Armenian Institute has firmly established itself over the past decade, and is very much looking forward to moving into our new home in 2020. AI hosted and ran over 25 events in 2019 ranging from book and film launches to workshops and lectures, as well as republishing I Ask you, I Ask you, Ladies and Gentlemen page 17 Ladies and Gentleman, bringing the words of Leon Surmelian to a new audience.
