"Տէ՛ր, դուն միայն լաւ սերմեր չցանեցի՞ր արտիդ մէջ. ուրկէ՞ հապա որոմը": Ան պատասխանեց. "Ասիկա թշնամիի գործ է": Ծառաները ըսին. "Կ՚ուզե՞ս որ երթանք եւ որոմը քաղենք": "Ո՛չ,- պատասխանեց տէրը,- որովհետեւ որոմը քաղած ատեն կրնայ ըլլալ որ երկուքն ալ միասին արմատախիլ ընէք: Ձգեցէք որ երկուքն ալ միասին աճին մինչեւ հունձքի ժամանակ, երբ հնձուորներուն կ՚ըսեմ որ նախ որոմը քաղեն, խուրձեր կազմեն այրելու համար, եւ ապա քաղեն ցորենը եւ ամբարեն շտեմարաններուս մէջ"»: Ահաւասիկ ճիշդ ասոր կը նմանի երկինքի արքայութիւնը: THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST ACCORDING TO MATTHEW (13:24-30) Jesus told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared. "The owner's servants came to him and said, 'Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?' " 'An enemy did this,' he replied. "The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and pull them up?' " 'No,' he answered, 'because while you are pulling the weeds, you may root up the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.' " THE EPISTLE OF ST. PAUL TO THE ROMANS (9:30-10:4) What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith; but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it. Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the "stumbling stone."As it is written: "See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame." Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.

This July 4th weekend, the Providence Homenetmen hosted the 27th Navasartian Games. Over 400 athletes from the Eastern Region came to participate in sporting events such as basketball, volleyball, tennis, track, swimming and soccer. Although Providence did not win first place in the overall games, we had athletes compete in all sports throughout the weekend and ultimately placed 2nd overall. The Providence Homenetmen also planned two very successful dances for the weekend. On Sunday night we had Kevork Artinian perform at the Providence Biltmore, and on Monday we had an overwhelming crowd attend Elie Berberian at the Rhode Island Convention Center. In the midst of a successful Navasartian Games, we unfortunately suffered a major tragedy at the beginning of our weekend. During the first game of the weekend Y. Mark Alashaian passed away. In Y. Mark's honor every athlete was given a black wristband to wear for the duration of the weekend, and the remaining days of games were opened with a prayer and moment of silence. Additionally, for the next five years the senior men’s basketball trophy will be called the "Mark Alashaian Trophy." This weekend wouldn’t have been possible without our dedicated steering committee, community, volunteers, athletes and supporters. We would like to say thank you for helping make this weekend a huge success.

From the July 6, 2017 edition of ********************************************************** OUR HOLY TRANSLATORS Yesterday, we celebrated the Feast of Saints Sahag Bartev and Mesrob Mashdotz, the Holy Translators. The feasts dedicated to the Holy Translators are among the most beloved commemorations for Armenians. Sahag and Mesrob are honored two times during the liturgical year: on the Thursday following the fourth Sunday after Pentecost, which is today, and on the second Saturday in October. The visionary leadership of these two men who recognized the necessity of an Armenian alphabet changed the course of Armenian history. The two saints, Sahag and Mesrob, are forever linked in the minds and hearts of the Armenian people. FEAST OF SAINTS SAHAG AND MESROB As noted above, yesterday the Armenian Church celebrated the Feast of Sts. Sahag Bartev and Mesrob Mashdotz, the Holy Translators. They wholeheartedly committed themselves to the task of creating an alphabet with the sacred goal of creating a Bible in Armenian, believing that the future growth of Christianity was tied to the written word. The ultimate outcome went far beyond their original vision as Armenia entered a golden age of literature with fast and furious translations of history, theology and philosophy.

(Gen. 9:6) We live in a society which gives little respect to human life. Unfortunately, today’s society is self-centered and trying to satisfy its wishes only, rather than doing good to others and satisfying God. The first time in the Bible we read about murder is in the Book of Genesis. Cain and Abel were two sons of Adam and Eve. “Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain a tiller of the ground. In the course of time, Cain brought to the Lord an offering of the fruit of the ground, and Abel for his part brought of the firstlings of his flock, their fat portions. And the Lord had regard for Abel and his offering, but for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So, Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell. The Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry, and why has your countenance fallen? If you do well, will you not be accepted.

Podpis autora práce iii iv On the ancient peak of Ararat The centuries have come like seconds, And passed on. The swords of innumerable lightnings Have broken upon its diamond crest, And passed on. The eyes of generations dreading death Have glanced at its luminuos summit, And passed on. The turn is now yours for a brief while: You, too, look at its lofty brow, And pass on! Avetik Isahakyan, “Mount Ararat”, in Selected Works: Poetry and Prose, ed. M. Kudian, Moscow 1976. v vi My first sincere thanks belong to my thesis’ supervisor, prof. Ivan Foletti, for his observations, talks and patience during this time. Especially, I would like to thank him for introducing me to the art of Caucasus and giving me the opportunity to travel to Armenia for studies, where I spent five exciting months. I would like to thank teachers from Yerevan State Academy of Arts, namely to Gayane Poghosyan and Ani Yenokyan, who were always very kind and helped me with better access of certain Armenian literature. My gratitude also belongs to my friends Susan and colleagues, notably to Veronika, who was with me in Armenia and made the whole experience more entertaining. To Khajag, who helped me with translation of Armenian texts and motivating me during the whole process. It´s hard to express thanks to my amazing parents, who are constantly supporting me in every step of my studies and life, but let me just say: Thank you! vii viii Content Introduction.........................................................................1 I.

  • Ararat Marz Guidebook
    ARARAT MARZ GUIDEBOOK 2014 ARARAT FACTS ARARAT Ararat is one of Armenia’s 10 provinces, whose capital is Artashat. Named after Mount Ararat, the province borders Turkey to the west and Azerbaijan’s Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic to the south. Two former Armenian capitals are located in this region, Artashat and Dvin, as well as the Khor Virap monastery, significant as the place of Gregory the Illuminator’s 13-year imprisonment and for being the closest point to Mount Ararat within Armenian borders. The province consists of 97 com- munities, known as hamaynkner, of which four are considered urban and 93 rural. Spanning an area of 1995 km2 and home to a population of 311,400 people, its administrative Center is Artashat which is 29km from Yerevan. Ararat borders the following provinces: Armavir to the northwest, Kotayk to the north, Gegharkunik 1. It is rumoured that Sir Winston’s favourite tipple came out of the Ararat valley in the east and Vayots Dzor to the southeast. Ararat also has a border with the city of Yerevan in the north, between its borders with Armavir and Kotayk. Ararat’s moun- tains include the Yeranos range, Vishapasar 3157m, Geghasar 3443m, and Kotuts 2061m, Urts 2445m. The province also has a number of lakes including: Sev, Azat, Armush, and Karalich as well as the Arax, Azat, Hrazdan, Yotnakunk, Vedi, and Artashat Rivers. During the period from 331 BC to 428 AD, the Armenian Kingdom was also known as Greater Armenia (Mets Hayk) and consisted of 15 states. One of those original states was Ayrarat.

It is important for me to thank that WPI community who never fails to surprise me with their cooperation and willingness to participate in the surveys required for this study. 3 The Stained Glass Windows of the Arminian Church of Our Savor Abstract The goal of this project is to study the meaning behind the stained-glass windows at the Armenian Church of Our Savor in Worcester Massachusetts. The history of these beautiful windows has taught us that the combination of colorful lights not only provides a mesmerizing atmosphere inside the church, but also a lesson for those who believe through symbolism and metaphors. After interviewing the pastors of the church and analyzing the features and figures drawn in every glass, and upon analyzing the answers received from the surveys, we discovered that no more than ten percent of the survey participants understand the educational meaning of the stained-glass windows and each symbolism hidden in them.

  • Conversion of Armenia
    THE CONVERSION OF ARMENIA TO THE CHRISTIAN FAITH HORACE HART, PRINTER TO THE UNIVERSITY THE CONVERSION OF ARMENIA TO THE CHRISTIAN FAITH BY W. ST. CLAIR-TISDALL, M.A., C.M.S. AUTHOR OF 'THE RELIGION OF THE CRESCENT,' ETC. ' Te Martyrum candidatus laudat exercitns: Te per orbem terrarnm sancta confitetur Ecclesia. Tu Rex Gloriae, Christe I '-Te Deum. THE RELIGIOUS TRACT SOCIETY 56 PATERNOSTER ROW AND 65 ST. PAUL'S CHURCHYARD [A /l n'ghts reserved J PREFACE DURING the last few years the world ha~ witnessed a terribl.e spectacle. We nave seen a Christian nation in Asia, of the same Aryan blood as ourselves, suffering the most cruel wrongs at the hands of the Turks and their confederates, the Kurds. We have seen members of this Christian nation, men and women and little children, massacred in tens qf thousands, and our illustrated papers have presented us with photographic views of some of these terrible scenes. We have read of large numbers dying a martyr's death rather than embrace Islam, and have heard of those who had less courage and faith being driven at the point of the sword to repeat the ,creed of the. Arabian Antichrist. We have beheld some­ thing more strange still - the Christian nations of Europe hampered in their endeavours to put a stop to this state of things by their mutual ·distrust and jealousy of one another. And thus, as we draw near the end of the nineteenth century, our news­ papers are quietly discussing the question whether or not Turkey will succeed in exterminating the 6 PREFACE whole Christian population of her Armenian provinces, or in forcing upon them, at the sword's point, an apostasy worse than death.

  • To the Prelates, Clergy, National Representative Assembly, and the Armenian Faithful of the Catholicosate of the Great House of Cilicia
    To the Prelates, Clergy, National Representative Assembly, And the Armenian Faithful Of the Catholicosate of the Great House of Cilicia On the threshold of the year 2010, we greet you with pontifical blessing and warm Christian love from the Catholicosate of the Great House of Cilicia in Antelias. As you know, every year we invite our faithful to meditate upon a unique value, an important aspect, a pivotal concern or a serious challenge related to our church and community life, and to underscore, by effective means and concrete ways, its vital importance for the sake of the further organization and prosperity of our community life. Based on the same expectation, and considering the important role reserved for the Armenian woman in the life of our people, we proclaim the year 2010 as “THE YEAR OF THE ARMENIAN WOMAN” Indeed, women have started to occupy a central place at the present time, within the various spheres and structures of society, ranging from the family to the school, public organizations to governmental institutions, with their dominant voice and prolific activity. As with this Pontifical Message we invite our faithful to put Armenian women under the spotlight during the current year, it is necessary to observe them on a wider historico-religious basis, so that we can properly define and comprehensively evaluate their particular place and role withinArmenian life. * * * Women in the Bible As Christians, we consider the Bible to be the foundation of the truths, values and principles professed by us. Therefore, it is necessary to have the Bible as our point of departure when we speak about women.
