That meantime the chiseling, shaping, and polishing of consecrated believers in Christ's atonement for sin prop·esses; and when the last of these "living stones", "elect and preciom," shall have been made ready, the great l\Iaster Workman will bring all together in the first resurrection; and. the temple shall be filled with his glory, and be the meeting place between God and men throughout the Millennium.-Revelation 15: 5-8.

  • Shirak Guidebook
    Wuthering Heights of Shirak -the Land of Steppe and Sky YYerevanerevan 22013013 1 Facts About Shirak FOREWORD Mix up the vast open spaces of the Shirak steppe, the wuthering wind that sweeps through its heights, the snowcapped tops of Mt. Aragats and the dramatic gorges and sparkling lakes of Akhurian River. Sprinkle in the white sheep fl ocks and the cry of an eagle. Add churches, mysterious Urartian ruins, abundant wildlife and unique architecture. Th en top it all off with a turbulent history, Gyumri’s joi de vivre and Gurdjieff ’s mystical teaching, revealing a truly magnifi cent region fi lled with experi- ences to last you a lifetime. However, don’t be deceived that merely seeing all these highlights will give you a complete picture of what Shirak really is. Dig deeper and you’ll be surprised to fi nd that your fondest memories will most likely lie with the locals themselves. You’ll eas- ily be touched by these proud, witt y, and legendarily hospitable people, even if you cannot speak their language. Only when you meet its remarkable people will you understand this land and its powerful energy which emanates from their sculptures, paintings, music and poetry. Visiting the province takes creativity and imagination, as the tourist industry is at best ‘nascent’. A great deal of the current tourist fl ow consists of Diasporan Armenians seeking the opportunity to make personal contributions to their historic homeland, along with a few scatt ered independent travelers. Although there are some rural “rest- places” and picnic areas, they cater mainly to locals who want to unwind with hearty feasts and family chats, thus rarely providing any activities.

  • Akhtamar Numero 198 (1 Apr)
    1 Anno 10, Numero 198 on line 1 aprile 2015—XCIX M.Y. Akhtamar Nuove forme, stesso impegno online il sito comunitaarmena.it si rinnova Nell’anno del centenario, più o meno trenta giorni prima della fatidica data del 24 aprile, è partita la nuova avventura del sito www.comunitaarmena.it. A quindici anni dal varo, con quindici anni di affermato punto di riferimento per tutti coloro che hanno voluto informarsi sul “pianeta” armeno. Dopo tre lustri era arrivato il momento di darsi una rinfrescata, di rimettere ordine al calderone di notizie e informazioni accumulatesi in tutto questo tempo; riordinare i criteri di fruibilità delle informazioni creando percorsi più lineari, raggruppando gli argomenti per aree tematiche in una nuova veste più accattivante e stimolante. Rimangono i caposaldi del nostro lavoro (gli appuntamenti, la rassegna stampa, l’in- formazione sugli eventi, la vigilanza, il nostro Akhtamar) ma abbiamo creato delle sezioni dove in maniera chiara e sintetica affrontiamo argomenti importanti come la storia degli armeni o la tematica del genocidio. La novità assoluta è rappresentata dalla sezione “ scuola ” nella quale abbiamo inserito materiale e spunti di riflessione specificatamente destinati al mondo scolastico sul quale vogliamo dedicare ancor più attenzione che in passato. Il nuovo sito non è un punto di arrivo ma semmai un punto di partenza: ci darà slancio per fare ancora di più, arricchirlo di contenuti grazie a una interfaccia Wordpress più WWW.COMUNITAARMENA.IT malleabile alle esigenze di un sito moderno. Ora la parola ai navigatori del web. Sommario Ricordando il cinquantesimo .... 2 La percezione Eurasiatica dell’unio- 3 Bollettino interno ne.

  • A History of Armenian Immigration to Southern California Daniel Fittante
    But Why Glendale? But Why Glendale? A History of Armenian Immigration to Southern California Daniel Fittante Abstract: Despite its many contributions to Los Angeles, the internally complex community of Armenian Angelenos remains enigmatically absent from academic print. As a result, its history remains untold. While Armenians live throughout Southern California, the greatest concentration exists in Glendale, where Armenians make up a demographic majority (approximately 40 percent of the population) and have done much to reconfigure this homogenous, sleepy, sundown town of the 1950s into an ethnically diverse and economically booming urban center. This article presents a brief history of Armenian immigration to Southern California and attempts to explain why Glendale has become the world’s most demographically concentrated Armenian diasporic hub. It does so by situating the history of Glendale’s Armenian community in a complex matrix of international, national, and local events. Keywords: California history, Glendale, Armenian diaspora, immigration, U.S. ethnic history Introduction Los Angeles contains the most visible Armenian diaspora worldwide; however yet it has received virtually no scholarly attention. The following pages begin to shed light on this community by providing a prefatory account of Armenians’ historical immigration to and settlement of Southern California. The following begins with a short history of Armenian migration to the United States. The article then hones in on Los Angeles, where the densest concentration of Armenians in the United States resides; within the greater Los Angeles area, Armenians make up an ethnic majority in Glendale. To date, the reasons for Armenians’ sudden and accelerated settlement of Glendale remains unclear. While many Angelenos and Armenian diasporans recognize Glendale as the epicenter of Armenian American habitation, no one has yet clarified why or how this came about.

  • Stereotomy and the Mediterranean: Notes Toward an Architectural History*
    STEREOTOMY AND THE MEDITERRANEAN: * NOTES TOWARD AN ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY SARA GALLETTI DUKE UNIVERSITY Abstract Stereotomy, the art of cutting stones into particular shapes for the construction of vaulted structures, is an ancient art that has been practiced over a wide chronological and geographical span, from Hellenistic Greece to contemporary Apulia and across the Mediterranean Basin. Yet the history of ancient and medieval stereotomy is little understood, and nineteenth- century theories about the art’s Syrian origins, its introduction into Europe via France and the crusaders, and the intrinsic Frenchness of medieval stereotomy are still largely accepted. In this essay, I question these theories with the help of a work-in-progress database and database-driven maps that consolidate evidence of stereotomic practice from the third century BCE through the eleventh century CE and across the Mediterranean region. I argue that the history of stereotomy is far more complex than what historians have assumed so far and that, for the most part, it has yet to be written. Key Words Stereotomy, stone vaulting, applied geometry, history of construction techniques. * I am very grateful to John Jeffries Martin and Jörn Karhausen for reading drafts of this essay and providing important suggestions. I am also indebted to the faculty and students of the Centre Chastel (INHA, Paris), where I presented an early version of this essay in April 2016, for helping me clarify aspects of my research. Philippe Cabrit, a maître tailleur of the Compagnons du devoir de France, helped me immensely by generously sharing his knowledge of the practice of stereotomy. This essay is dedicated to Maître Cabrit as a token of my gratitude.
