SUMMARY:Feast of the Evangelists Saints Mathew\, Mark\, Luke and John
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n\n\n\n\nThe Armenian Church commemorates the Holy Evangelists\, Matthew\, Mark\, Luke\, and John\, the authors of the four Gospels. The were known as “evangelists” because they proclaimed the good news about Jesus Christ as each author provides traces and insights into Christ’s life. The word Evangelist comes from the Greek euangelistes which means “one who brings good news.” Evangelists are given the special ability by the Holy Spirit to communicate the Gospel of Jesus Christ clearly and effectively. In the early days of the church evangelism was the work of the apostles. By the third century\, the authors of the four canonical Gospels became known as the Holy Evangelists\, and as the church grew\, “evangelist” began to denote a specific office that could include “apostles\, prophets\, evangelists\, pastors and teachers” (see Ephesians 4:11-12). \nMatthew (gift of God)\, is the patron of the Church’s mission. The Gospel attributed to him closes with Jesus’ command to His disciples and followers to\, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations\, baptising them in the name of the father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit\, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember\, I am with you always\, to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20) \nMark (polite\, shining)\, had significant influence on the advancement of Christianity. Although the Gospel according to Mark is a narrative of the life of Jesus\, theologians consider it to be a handbook of discipleship. The dominant message is that being a Christian is not only to believe in Jesus Christ\, it is also living according to the example set by Jesus. According to tradition\, Mark was the first bishop of Alexandria. One of the most magnificent cathedrals in the world is named after him in Venice\, where his relics are kept. \nLuke (light giving)\, is the author of the third Gospel and the Book of Acts. He is considered to be the patron of physicians and artists. The Gospel according to Luke describes Jesus as “the healer of a broken world.” Luke is also noted for his concern for the poor\, the marginalised\, women and social outcasts. His Gospel does not end with the Resurrection\, but continues to Pentecost and the eternal presence of Christ in the world. Traditionally he is believed to be one of the Seventy Two disciples and the unnamed disciple in Emmaus. \nJohn\, often called the “beloved disciple\,” is the author of the fourth Gospel. He was the only one of the twelve disciples who stood at the foot of the Cross. Jesus entrusted his mother to John’s care on the day of the Crucifixion. The best-known verse in his Gospel is John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son\, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” According to tradition\, John left Jerusalem after attending the first council (35 A.D.) and went to Asia Minor and settled in Ephesus. He was exiled to the island of Patmos where he wrote the book of Revelation\, although more recently scholars have concluded that John the Apostle and John of Patmos were two different people. \n\n\n\n\n\nTogether these four evangelists provide us with the message of Christ’s mission on earth as God’s Son\, and through their words\, inspired by the breath of God\, they encourage us to live with faith\, love and hope in our hearts.

SUMMARY:Feast of the Holy Translators (Tarkmanchadz)
DESCRIPTION:  \nFeast of the Holy Translators – Saints Mesrob\, Yeghishe\, Movses Khorenatsi (Moses of Khoren)\, Philosopher Davit Anhaght\, Gregory of Narek (Krikor Naregatsi) and Nerses the Gracious (Nerses Shnorhali)\n\nFor the Armenian people\, the Feast of the Holy Translators is one of the most favourite and beloved national ecclesiastical feasts. Nearly two hundred disciples of St Mesrob Mashtots (Mashtots) and St Sahak are known by the general group name “Holy Translators”. \nCelebrating this feast\, the Armenian Apostolic Church pays tribute to the bright memory of St Mesrob Mashtots\, Yeghishe\, Moses of Khoronk\, philosopher Davit Anhaght\, whose sacred work was later continued on by St Gregory of Narek and St Nerses the Gracious. The word “Translator” means “Interpreter”. Comprehending and precisely understanding the demands of that period\, the Holy Translators initiated the sacred work of creating Armenian literature and the alphabet. \nAfter Mesrob Mashdots invented the Armenian alphabet in 405 AD\, the first thing translated into Armenian was the Bible\, the ultimate textual source for the Christian. \nMashdots’ student Goriun/Koriun\, who penned a biography of his teacher\, tells us that the first written words translated into Armenian were from the Book of Proverbs: “To know wisdom and instruction\, to perceive the words of understanding.” With this paean to wisdom\, the first translators demonstrated that they fully understood the momentous nature of their task. To render the Bible into Armenian was to make the very Word of God present among the Armenians. With the invention of the alphabet and the translation of the Bible\, Mashtots and his students\, the first of the Holy Translators\, created the possibility of Armenian literature. They also\, as the late scholar of Armenian liturgy\, Fr. Robert F. Taft wrote\, made possible the unique Armenian expression of the faith\, the Armenian rite: it is only after the invention of the alphabet and the development of Classical Armenian\, krapar\, that one is “really able to speak of an ‘Armenian rite.’” \nWe can see\, then\, why the Holy Translators are celebrated as saints of the Armenian Church. After the first translation of the Bible\, Goriun tells us that “the blessed ones turned their attention to the improvement and refinement of the literature of their people.” They translated patristic sources like Gregory Nazianzus and John Chrysostom. In addition to this explicitly Christian literature\, the early translators also translated works of classical learning: the philosophy\, rhetoric and grammars of the Greeks. \nThe disciples of the above mentioned group of Holy Translators are known as the “Junior Translators”\, which includes the historian Yeghishe. His most famous work is the History of Vardan and the Armenian War written at the request of David Mamikonian\, which he calls a “Hishadagaran” (Recollection). The work is considered one of the masterpieces of classical Armenian literature and is almost entirely free from Greek words and expressions. \nAnother disciple of Mesrob Mashtots was Movses Khorenatsi. He was a prominent Armenian historian from the period of Late Antiquity and the author of the History of Armenia. Khorenatsi is credited with the earliest known historiographical work on the history of Armenia written in Armenian\, but was also a poet\, or hymn writer and a grammarian. The History of Armenia was written at the behest of Prince Sahak of the Bagratuni dynasty and has had an enormous impact on Armenian historiography. It was used and quoted extensively by later medieval Armenian authors. Although other Armenians such as Agathangelos had previously written histories on Armenia\, Movses’ work holds particular significance because it contains unique material on the old oral traditions in Armenia before its conversion to Christianity and\, more importantly\, traces Armenian history from Movses’ day back to its origins. Khorenatsi is considered to be the “father of Armenian history” (patmahayr)\, and is sometimes referred to as the “Armenian Herodotus.” Khorenatsi’s work became the first attempt of a universal history of Armenia. \nDavid (Davit) the Invincible Philosopher\, is listed among the Translators. In many ways\, we can say that he prefigured some of the insights of Walter Benjamin by over a thousand years\, in the Armenian version of his philosophical works\, he not only translated individual words but entire concepts and world views (for\, according to the traditional biography of him\, he both wrote original works in Greek and Armenian and translated his own Greek works into Armenian). For instance\, instead of talking about a Pegasus\, he mentioned the aralez\, an Armenian mythical creature\, a winged dog mentioned in Khorenatsi and other sources. The Holy Translators truly understood the momentousness of their task and we are the beneficiaries of their careful work. \nShortly after the original set of translations\, a school of translation known as the Hellenizing School rendered Greek originals into an Armenian that carefully translated each word. After the Hellenizing School\, there were many important translators and translations into Armenian. Perhaps most notable among them was the brilliant Grigor Magistros\, a scholar\, military leader and administrator born in 990 AD whose descendants and relatives included several Catholicoi. Magistros’ most famous work was written after a bet with Manazi\, an Arab theologian who insisted the Quran was more beautiful than the Bible because it was written in verse. In response\, Magistros produced the Magnalia Dei\, a “Biblical History in Epic Verse\,” itself translated into English by Dr. Abraham Terian. By rendering the Bible into verse\, Magistros translated not just words and ideas\, but made the Bible intelligible as a beautiful cultural product resonant with the worldview of an Islamic scholar. \nSt Gregory of Narek is widely revered as one of the greatest figures of medieval Armenian religious thought and literature. Born in the city of Narek in about 950 A.D.\, St Gregory came from a line of scholars and churchmen. St Gregory received his education under the guidance of his father\, Bishop Khosrov\, author of the earliest commentary on the Divine Liturgy and from Anania Vartabed\, abbot of Narek Monastery. He and his two brothers entered monastic life at an early age\, and St Gregory soon began to excel in music\, astronomy\, geometry\, mathematics\, literature and theology. \nHe became a priest at the age of 25 and dedicated himself to God. He lived most of his life in the monastery of Narek\, where he taught at the monastic school. St Gregory began his writings with a commentary on the “Song of Songs\,” which was commissioned by an Armenian prince. Despite his reservations that he was too young for the task\, the commentary became famous for its clarity of thought and language and its excellence of theological presentation. \nHe also wrote a number of famous letters\, sharagans\, treasures\, odes\, melodies and discourses. Many of his prayers are included in the Divine Liturgy celebrated each Sunday in Armenian Churches around the world. \nSt Gregory’s masterpiece is considered to be his Book of Lamentations. Also known as Narek\, it is comprised of 95 prayers\, each of which is titled “Conversation with God from the depth of the heart.” A central theme is man’s separation from God\, and his quest to reunite with Him. St Gregory described the work this way: “Its letters like my body\, its message like my soul.” He called his book an “encyclopedia of prayer for all nations.” It was his hope that it would serve as a guide to prayer for people all over the world. After the advent of movable type\, the book was published in Marseille in 1673\, and has been translated into at least 30 languages. \nNerses IV the Gracious is also known as Nerses Shnorhali\, Nerses of Kla or Saint Nerses the Graceful. Every time we sing “Aravod Looso” (Morning of Light) during the morning service at church or “Norahrash bsagavor” (Newly and Marvelously Crowned) at the festivity of Vartanants\, we are singing two of the most inspired sharagans written and musicalised by Nerses Shnorhali. We are also repeating his words when we recite “Havadov Khosdovanim” (In Faith I Confess) during Lent. One of the most beloved saints of the Armenian Church\, he was born on June 4\, 1102 (some sources say 1098 or 1101). He was a member of the Pahlavuni princely family and the grandson of the noted writer\, Grigor Magistros Pahlavuni. Shnorhali (literally “filled with grace”) had been the title of several known members of the Church\, but it became synonymous with Nerses after his time. \nThe fall of the Armenian kingdom of the Bagratunis in 1045 and the destruction of the capital Ani by the Seljukid Turks in 1064 had forced the Holy See of the Armenian Church to move from the capital in 1081. After several changes of place\, Grigor III had settled the Holy See in the fortress of Hromkla (Hrom-kla\, “Roman Fortress”)\, on the banks of the Euphrates River\, very close to the border of the Armenian state of Cilicia\, in 1149 (it remained there until 1292). His brother Nerses\, whom he had ordained at the age of 18 and who was consecrated a bishop at the age of thirty\, was also known as Nerses Klayetsi. He was the right hand of Grigor III during his long reign (1113-1166) and succeeded him as Catholicos Nerses IV until his death in 1173. \nA prolific writer and theologian\, some of Shnorhali’s best known works are his Tught Unthanragan (General Epistle)\, a message of guidance in the Christian faith for the Armenian people\, and his poem Hisus Vorti (Jesus the Son). Both have been translated into English. Many of his songs and hymns were incorporated into the regular service of the Armenian Church. His pioneering spirit of ecumenism and his leadership have been historically recognised. \nBy the nineteenth century\, the krapar\, the “Classical Armenian” of the early translators\, had fallen out of daily use. Several centuries prior\, a “Middle Armenian” had already emerged. Yet krapar continued to be used alongside the more vernacular Armenians. In the nineteenth century\, a debate raged about the use of  ashkharapar\, the “modern” language in one of dialectical variants. Many felt that the true literary language was krapar. With the founding of schools separate from the monasteries\, intellectuals argued about curriculum. In newspapers and through the publication of books like Khatchatur Abovian’s The Wounds of Armenia\, considered the first novel in Armenian and the first written in “modern” (in this case “Eastern”) Armenian\, slowly the modern ashkharapar took shape. Works in French\, English and other European literary languages were translated into the modern dialects. For instance\, the Mkitarist congregation in Vienna published Hovhannes Masehyan’s translations of Shakespeare into Armenian. \nPart ref: vemkar.us

SUMMARY:Commemoration of Christ’s seventy-two Disciples
DESCRIPTION:  \nBesides the 12 Apostles\, Jesus also had 72 disciples\, whom he sent to “preach the Good News to all nations”. Unfortunately\, those disciples’ names are not mentioned in the Gospels. In the New Testament the word “disciple” is used of the followers of the Jesus Christ. Christ sent out his apostles and disciples “like lambs among wolves” two by two\, to go ahead of him to every town and place where he himself was about to go\, saying them: “Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me; and whoever rejects me rejects the one who sent me…” (The Gospel according to Luke 10:16). There are hardly any differences between the 12 apostles and the 72 disciples\, they have the same power and authority and the same mission (The Gospel according to Luke 10:9; 9:1). However\, the names of all 72 disciples\, like the names of the 40 innocent children martyred in Bethlehem\, are known to God only and are written in the sacred book of the Heavenly Kingdom.

SUMMARY:Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross (Khatchverats)
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross is the last one of the five major feasts of the Armenian Apostolic Church. It is the most important feast among the feasts dedicated to the Holy Cross\, as it is dedicated to the history of the return of the Holy Cross from imprisonment\, its elevation and glorification. In the Armenian Apostolic Church the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross is celebrated on Sunday during the period between September 11-17. \nThe dictionary defines “exaltation” as the state of praising highly\, or of raising something aloft to a superior position. According to early accounts\, the public adoration of the Cross of Christ\, when it was ceremoniously elevated before the faithful for veneration\, took place on three significant occasions. \nThe first occasion was by the apostle James in Jerusalem. While zealously preaching to a crowd\, he boldly raised a cross and cried out\, “We kiss the ground before your Cross\, O Christ. Lord\, you who were nailed to the Cross and shed your blood in sacrifice\, we bow down before your Cross.” \nIn the early days of Christianity\, the cross was viewed as an instrument of infamy and punishment used by the Romans. Jesus’ crucifixion was intended to stand (by the executors) as a warning that those who followed his teachings would incur severe punishment. One could not openly declare one’s Christian faith without serious consequences. Thus\, in James’ public adoration of the Cross of Christ and acknowledgment of Christ’s sacrifice\, the cross was transformed from a symbol of death to one of new life and victory. \nThe second occasion on which the Holy Cross was ceremoniously elevated before the faithful was when it was “discovered” by Queen Helena\, mother of the Emperor Constantine\, in 326 A.D. in Jerusalem. The “true cross” (the one on which Christ was crucified) was authenticated when a deceased man came alive after being placed on Christ’s cross. At that time Bishop Cyril\, the Patriarch of Jerusalem\, elevated the Holy Cross before the faithful crowd\, who witnessed the miracle and were inspired with awe. \nThe third auspicious occasion on which the Holy Cross was elevated and venerated\, was upon its return from captivity from the Persians. In the year 629 A.D. the Emperor Heraclitus\, leading a coalition of forces\, including Armenians\, recaptured the cross from the Persians and personally led his troops to return the Cross to Jerusalem. The king led the troops through Armenian lands\, a long journey from Constantinople to Jerusalem. It was an emotional experience for those Christian people of the East witnessing these events\, but especially the Armenians who had played a substantial role in the rescue of the precious cross. \nThe celebration of the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in the Armenian Church takes place at the end of the Divine Liturgy. With great ceremony\, the clergy\, deacons and acolytes proceed around the church holding high the gleaming gold cross\, which is adorned with sprigs of fresh basil (a symbol of royalty)\, after which an antasdan service takes place. \nIn the antasdan service\, the four corners of the church are blessed as a sign of the sanctification of the world. Similar to the Feast of the Assumption\, the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross is also related to the blessing of the harvest of fruits and their preservation: a time to give thanks for God’s blessings. Following the ceremony\, parishioners customarily take home a sprig of the sweet basil and use it for its healing properties. \nFor Christians\, the Cross is God’s power and strength on which Christ’s innocent blood was shed. By means of the Cross Jesus proved His love towards mankind and the Cross became for us the symbol of hope\, love and saving.

SUMMARY:Feast of the Assumption of the Holy Mother of God (Asdvadzadzin)
DESCRIPTION:  \nEach year on the Sunday closest to the date of August 15\, the Armenian Church celebrates the Feast of the Assumption of St. Mary\, the Holy Mother of God. In the calendar of the Armenian Church\, this feast is the fourth of five major feasts that are commemorated\, and is the oldest one dedicated to St. Mary. \nIn the Holy Bible\, there is little information concerning the details of St. Mary’s life. As a result\, the story of her Assumption has been preserved and passed on to us through the Holy and Sacred Tradition of the Apostolic Church. \nFollowing the crucifixion of Jesus Christ\, the Holy Virgin remained in Jerusalem\, and lived under the care of St. John the Evangelist. For nearly 12 years\, St. Mary lived by praying\, fasting\, and often visiting the empty tomb of her beloved Son. During one such visit to the tomb\, the Archangel Gabriel appeared and gave her the news of her imminent assumption to heaven. St. Mary relayed the news to her relatives and all Christians\, asking them to bury her in the valley of Gethsemane. St. Mary also asked the Apostle John to celebrate a Divine Liturgy\, so she may receive Holy Communion one final time. After receiving Holy Communion\, St. Mary returned to her room. As the Apostles prepared to mourn her death\, St. John asked the Mother of God to leave an image of her face on a board of wood.  St. Mary took the board\, crossed herself and brought it close to her face.  Moistening the board with her tears\, she asked God that by means of the board\, people would be cured from disease.  As the Apostles surrounded St. Mary\, an indescribable light appeared. The Son of God and the angels of heaven appeared in the room. Upon seeing Christ\, St. Mary died. \nSt. Bartholomew the Apostle was absent and did not participate in the burial service of St. Mary. Upon his return to Jerusalem\, he wished to see St. Mary for the last time. Per his request\, the Apostles opened the tomb\, yet they did not find the remains of St. Mary.  According to His promise\, Jesus Christ had delivered His mother to His heavenly kingdom. The Apostles gave the board of St. Mary to St. Bartholomew for consolation.\nAccording to Moses of Khoren\, St. Bartholomew brought the board to Armenia. It is kept in the Province of Andzav\, in a location called Darbnots. Years later\, a church was built there in honour of St. Mary and a convent was opened. \nIn the Northern Hemisphere\, on the Feast of the Assumption of St. Mary\, the Ceremony of the Blessing of the Grapes is conducted and the harvest for the entire year is blessed on that day. In Australia\, the Blessing of the Grapes takes place on the last Sunday of January as per the seasonal availability of grapes. \nThe Armenian Church has a deep and abiding respect towards St. Mary.  Special emphasis is placed on her being a mother\, her honesty\, her unique spirit of humility\, her virtuous behaviour and her unselfish dedication. For Armenian women\, the Holy Virgin is the embodiment of virtue\, pious motherhood\, and the protector of family sacredness. \n

SUMMARY:Feast of Transfiguration of Our Lord Jesus Christ (Vartavar)
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Feast of the Transfiguration of Our Lord Jesus Christ is one of the five main “Tabernacle” feasts of the Armenian Apostolic Orthodox Holy Church. It commemorates the transformation or the “transfiguration” that came over Jesus while He was praying.  Christ’s face shone like the sun and his clothes became a radiant and gleaming white. The Apostles Peter\, James and John witnessed that event which occurred on a high mountain named Tabor. \nEvangelists St. Matthew\, St. Mark and St. Luke testify about the transfiguration of Jesus in the Gospels (Matthew 17:1-13; Mark 9:1-12\, Luke 9:28-36).\n“… As they looked on\, a change came over Jesus: his face was shining like the sun and his clothes were dazzling white. Then the three disciples saw Moses and Elijah talking with Jesus.  So Peter spoke up and said to Jesus\, “Lord\, how good it is that we are here!  If you wish I will make three tents here\, one for you\, one for Moses and one for Elijah.”  While he was talking\, a shining cloud came over them\, and a voice from the cloud said\, “This is my own dear Son\, with whom I am pleased – listen to him!” When the disciples heard the voice\, they were so terrified that they threw themselves face downward on the ground. Jesus came to them and touched them. “Get up\,” he said. “Don’t be afraid!” So they looked up and saw no one there but Jesus. (Matthew 17:2-8) \nIn the Armenian Church\, the Feast of the Transfiguration of Our Lord Jesus Christ is celebrated 98 days following Easter.  The Feast also is known by the common name of “Vartavar” or “Vardakas”. This day is associated with an old Armenian tradition of pouring water on one another. Some sources attribute the tradition as a remnant of an Armenian pre-Christian celebration.
