We convey our blessings to you and your family on one of
the most meaningful observances of the year: Thanksgiving. How wonderful it is
to live in a country that sets aside this day each year, to express gratitude
for the bounties God has given us.
The idea of giving
thanks to God has deep roots in the Armenian Christian tradition. Our daily
prayers, indeed the Divine Liturgy itself, are all profound reflections on the
theme of Thanksgiving. We are thankful, above all, for the great gift God
bestowed on all the world, through His son, Jesus Christ.
This Thursday, as
we remember the many good things in our lives, let us also offer thanks for the
greatest blessing of all, which gives meaning and depth to all the others. In
the words of the Gospel of St. John: “God so loved the world that He gave it
His only Son.”
May the blessings
of Thanksgiving be with you and your loved ones always.
With prayers,
Archbishop Khajag Barsamian
Primate
