Distribution of the Newly Blessed Holy Muron

On September 30, under the presidency of His Holiness Karekin II, Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians, the ceremony of distributing the newly blessed Holy Muron took place at the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin.

His Holiness personally handed the ornate red pitchers to the dioceses of Armenia and the diaspora.

The Primate of the Diocese of Artsakh, His Grace Bishop Vrtanes Abrahamyan, received the Muron for the Diocese of Artsakh from the hands of the Catholicos, which, as mentioned in the Catholicos' message, inspired new hope and faith in the bright future of returning to our homeland, Artsakh. "Our Patriarchal exhortation to you, dear Armenians of Artsakh, is to stand firm and undaunted in the face of hardships and difficulties. The atrocities committed in Artsakh were not only against you but also against our entire nation. As a nation, we must be persistent in the pursuit of your right to live freely and with dignity in your ancestral homeland. From this holy altar, we send you our love and blessings, praying that divine grace may flow into your lives and homes. As the Catholicos of All Armenians, we believe in the inner strength of our nation and the revival of our people, in our bright and victorious future."
