St. James Armenian Apostolic Church was very honored last Sunday,
October 27, when the Solemn Celebration of the Divine Liturgy was presided by
His Beatitude Nourhan Manougian, the Armenian Patriarch of Jerusalem. This was the First Patriarchal Visit of His
Beautitude to the Western Diocese. His
Beatitude was accompanied by The Very Rev. Fr. Norayr Kazazian, member of the
Brotherhood of St. James, as the Celebrant.
During the service Parish Priest Rev. Fr. Haroutioun Tachejian
introduced the Patriarch to the congregation.
His sermon was well received by the approximately one hundred Armenian
faithful in attendance.
Following the church services, a reception was held in Dulgarian
Hall. Special thanks were extended to
the members of the Ladies Society for the lavish array of Armenian pastries and
baked goods. At the reception, Kissing
of the Hand (Ajahampouyr) was conducted by His Beatitude for all the Sunday
School Children. His Beatitude spoke
about the church's history in Jerusalem and the present conditions. He graciously participated in a very
informative Question and Answer session.
This was truly a historic occasion for St. James Armenian Church and
our parish.
