Feast of the Ascension Celebrated in the Mother See

Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzi-Armenian Church

On May 13, the Holy Armenian Apostolic Church celebrated the feast of the Ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ in the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin. The day also commemorates the return of the Catholicosate of All Armenians in 1441 to the administrative headquarters and spiritual center of the worldwide Armenian Church – the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin.

The feast of the Ascension of the Lord is celebrated forty days after the Glorious Resurrection, in accordance with the Gospels that state Christ remained on earth for forty days, and continued to appear to and console His disciples.

The celebrant of the Divine Liturgy was His Grace Bishop Sahak Mashalian, Dean of the Gevorkian Theological Seminary. Reflecting on the mystery of the day, His Grace stressed the importance of the Lord’s Ascension for every Christian, as a guarantee of the heavenly glory of Christ and of our national ecclesiastical unity under the guidance of the Mother See.

Following the Divine Liturgy, His Holiness Karekin II, Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians extended his pontifical message, love and blessings to the faithful.
