Mesrob, Yeghishe, Moses of Khoronk, philosopher Davit Anhaght, Gregory of Narek and Nerses the Gracious For the Armenian people the Feast of the Holy Translators is one of the most favorite and beloved national -ecclesiastical feasts. Nearly two hundred disciples of St. Mesrob Mashtots and St. Sahak are known by the general group name “Holy Translators”. The disciples of the above mentioned group of Holy Translators are known as “ Junior Translators”. Celebrating this feast, the Armenian Apostolic Church pays tribute of respect to the bright memory of St. Mesrob Mashtots, Yeghishe, Moses of Khoronk, philosopher Davit Anhaght, whose sacred work and mission later has been continued on by St. Gregory of Narek and St. Nerses the Gracious. The word “Translator” means "Interpreter”. Comprehending and precisely un- derstanding the demands of that period, the Holy Translators initi- ated the sacred work of creating the Armenian alphabet and litera- ture.

  • The Book of Sirach in the Armenian Biblical Tradition: Yakob Nalean and His Commentary on Sirach
    University of Sheffield The Book of Sirach in The Armenian Biblical Tradition: Yakob Nalean and His Commentary on Sirach Rev. Garegin (Tatul) Hambardzumyan Thesis is Submitted For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Biblical Studies 2014 ABSTRACT The extreme complexity of Sirach’s text at times makes it almost impossible to come to one clear conclusion as regards certain issues. There are numerous differences between various translations of this deuterocanonical text. In addition, the Armenian translation, being a textual witness to not one but multiple parent texts, has its own complications. This research provides a sustained theological reading of the Armenian text of Sirach on the basis of Yakob Nalean’s commentary written in the 18th century. At the same time it places a great emphasis on the textual evaluation of the various versions of Sirach in Armenian. In this respect an attempt has been made to display the unique features of the Armenian Sirach within the wider scope of the scholarship of this biblical text. Through a comprehensive linguistic and theological analysis of some major parts of Sirach in Armenian, this study assesses the extent to which this book was in use amongst Armenians throughout the centuries. In particular, the numerous references to Sirach in both Armenian and non-Armenian patristic literature are examined, with the aim of dating the first translations into Armenian and tracing the development of the text in the Armenian medieval schools. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS As Ben Sira himself would have put it, ‘Let us now sing the praises of famous men’. These are those people to whom I offer my appreciation and respect for all the support shown to me in the past three years of my studies as a doctoral student.

  • History Through Stained-Glass Windows
    Project ID: KKO-190 5 History Through Stained-Glass Windows An Interactive Qualifying Project submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Bachelor of Science By: Adam Rodeen Date: 30 April 2019 Report Submitted to: Karen Kashmanian Oates Advisor This report represents work of WPI undergraduate student submitted to the faculty as evidence of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its web site without editorial or peer review. For more information about the projects program at WPI, see http://www.wpi.edu/Academics/Project Abstract The goal of this project is to research the thirteen stained-glass windows in the nave of the Armenian Church of Our Savior. For each window, the scene depicted will be researched to determine the story or event from the Bible with which it represents, as well as the meaning of specific symbols used. Much of the research will be conducted online through religious articles and websites, interviews with the local priest, and the local Gordon Library at WPI. The aesthetic and emotional value of the windows to the parishioners will be evaluated, and the impact on the parishioners of knowing the stories behind the scenes depicted in the stained-glass windows will be assessed. The results of the research project will be documented in an educational brochure for print and electronic format. i Executive Summary The Armenian Community of the Church of Our Savior located on Salisbury Street is a thriving Armenian American Community. The Church has beautiful stained-glass windows depicting many biblical scenes.

  • Faith at Home Parent Handout 10/13/19
    When children and parents have faith discussions regularly, faith multiplies. Faith at Home Parent Handout 10/13/19 Theme of the Sunday: The 3rd Gospel of the New Testament – The Gospel Of Luke Verse of the Sunday: Gospel of Luke Message/Moral of the day: Today we will focus on the Gospel of Luke. Luke was a doctor, and perhaps his training as a doctor taught him to write down important details. His book tells the most detailed stories and teachings of Jesus than any other book. The Gospel of Luke is extremely compelling. Luke is the longest Gospel and the longest book in the New Testament! Luke wants his readers to know that Jesus came to save not just the Jews but all people of the world. Here are 5 interesting facts about the Gospel of Luke: 1. The Gospel of Luke covers Jesus’ boyhood, something no other book does. 2. It is the only Gospel that tells the story of the birth of John the Baptist. (Luke 1:13) 3. Luke is the only Gospel written by a Gentile (non-Jewish person). Although still debated, it is traditionally accepted that Luke was a Greek and was also the author of the Book of Acts, (traditionally considered one work - the Book of Acts being a sequel to the Gospel of Luke). 4. Luke was a physician. In the 4th chapter of Paul’s letter to the Colossians (4:14), Paul calls Luke a doctor. Luke also uses “medical language” in Acts 28:8. Luke was a beloved doctor. He not only healed people as his job, but the words in his gospel heal our hearts when we read them.

  • The Parikian Collection of Early Armenian Printing at Eton College Library
    THE PARIKIAN COLLECTION OF EARLY ARMENIAN PRINTING AT ETON COLLEGE LIBRARY THE PARIKIAN COLLECTION OF EARLY ARMENIAN PRINTING AT ETON COLLEGE LIBRARY Eton College Library is perhaps an unexpected place to find significant holdings of early Armenian printing: a collection of some 650 volumes bequeathed by the Anglo-Armenian violinist Manoug Parikian (1920-1987). The collection had until now been the largest uncatalogued collection of early Armenian printing assembled by a private individual outside an institution, with the exception of the collection of Armenian books presented to Wadham College, Oxford by Dr Caro Owen Minasian of Isfahan in 1972. In a 1988 letter to Paul Quarrie, then Eton College Librarian, C.J.F. Dowsett, the first Calouste Gulbenkian Professor of Armenian Studies at Oxford, wrote, ‘I must congratulate Eton on the acquisition of Manoug’s important collection. It may help some boys to get a fresh line on passages in Tacitus, Horace, Herodotus and Strabo, and encourage some to take up Oriental studies seriously.’ Nearly 30 years later, to mark the 350th anniversary of the printing of the first Armenian Bible by Oskan Erewants῾i in Amsterdam in 1666-1668, the Parikian collection has now been catalogued by Dr Vrej Nerses Nersessian with the financial support of the Armenian Communities Department of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. Bibliophiles and scholars as well as Eton boys may now explore its riches in an online catalogue available at www.etoncollege.com/CollegeLibraryParikianCollection.
