Acyo Decorates Sanctuary'S Christmas Tree

Armenians all over the world are experiencing tremendous pain. We are still trying to make sense of all the lives lost and families displaced over the last few months. In the midst of this sorrow, we want to remember the meaning behind the holiday season: to unite and spread the divine love of Christ through His Miraculous Birth.

We will be steadfast in this noble mission, despite the countless challenges we face as a nation. The ACYO of Holy Resurrection Armenian Church decorated the Christmas tree with faith and hope for the peace of Armenia, Artsakh, and the world.
 
On December 6^th, after Divine Liturgy (Badarak), the youth set up holiday decorations in the church! They set up a beautiful Christmas tree with a blessing from Ter Vazgen.

Der Vazgen Boyajyan explained that the tree is a symbol of Christ and a new life. He guided the youth on the true meaning of Christmas and the importance of it to Christians! Our parish is officially prepared for the holidays!
