100 bell rings worldwide symbolize Armenian Genocide centennial

100-rings

23/4/15

The ceremony of canonization of the Armenian Genocide martyrs at the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin concluded at a symbolic hour, 19:15. Bells in all the Armenian churches (except for those in Turkey) rang for 100 times, symbolizing the centennial of the Armenian Genocide. A moment of silence was announced afterwards. Lord’s Prayer reading and performing the Armenian chant Surb-Surb in different corners of the world by various choirs concluded the ceremony.

It is noteworthy that many non-Armenian Christian churches across the globe joined the ceremony.

    451515 809811I genuinely enjoy your web site, but Im having a difficulty: any time I load 1 of your post in Firefox, the center with the internet page is screwed up – which is bizarre. Might I send you a screenshot? In any event, keep up the superior work; I surely like reading you. 508740
