Commemorating the 98th Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide

On April 24, Armenians around the world will commemorate the 98th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. Armenian Martyrs’ Day will be observed at St. Leon Armenian Cathedral with the celebration of the Divine Liturgy at 6:30 pm. “April 24, 1915, has been our people’s woeful path to Golgotha. However, April 24th is also the Armenian people’s vision of the nation’s Resurrection,” said His Eminence Archbishop Hovnan Derderian, Primate of the Western Diocese of the Armenian Church of North America.

The solemn celebration of the Divine Liturgy will be followed by a Requiem Service and a flower-laying ceremony at the memorial cross-stone in the Turpanjian Plaza in honor of those who perished during the first Genocide of the 20th century.
