Congratulatory speech of the Primate of the diocese on the occasion of the feast of St. Ghevond the Priest and His Companions

Congratulatory speech of the Primate of the Artsakh Diocese, His Grace Bishop Vrtanes Abrahamyan, on the occasion of the feast St. Ghevond the Priest and His Companions.

Dear clergymen, we sincerely congratulate you on the bright holiday of St. Ghevond the Priest and His Companions.

For many years, our resolute struggle, coming from the depths of Armenian history, has not weakened for the preservation of the existence of our centuries-old Church and our holy homeland. On that difficult but significant path, the clergyman and the soldier fought side by side, and it is no coincidence that this day is considered a priestly holiday.

Dear clergymen and spiritual children of our Holy Church, perfectly understanding the honorable, but at the same time obliging responsibility placed on your shoulders, I pray that the Lord God will grant you good health, inexhaustible strength and unshakable will. I ask the intercession of the holy Ghevonds for your long and fruitful years.
