Monday, September 21, marks the 24th anniversary of the
establishment of the Republic of Armenia. Celebrations are planned in the
homeland and in Armenian communities across the diaspora. The rebirth of the
Armenian homeland is one of the most momentous developments in the history of
the Armenian people. Armenia’s citizens voted for independence from the Soviet
Union on September 21, 1991, and the resulting free republic became a member of
the United Nations on March 2, 1992.

On Sunday, September 20, parishes of the Eastern Diocese
will conduct the “Order of Thanksgiving Prayer of the Republic of Armenia.”

May our risen Lord bestow his grace on our homeland, keep
it under his loving protection, and guide all its citizens—our brothers and
sisters—in their heroic work to build a decent, prosperous, and just society.
