Christmas Eve Services in Holy Etchmiadzin
On the evening of January 5, the Eve of the Holy Nativity and Theophany of
Jesus Christ, a candlelight Divine Liturgy was celebrated in the Cathedral
of the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin. His Holiness Karekin II, Catholicos
of All Armenians, presided as His Eminence Archbishop Datev Sarkissian
celebrated the liturgy and delivered the sermon.
With the joyous singing of "Christ is Born and Revealed!", the Armenian
Church proclaimed the great tiding of Jesus' birth to her faithful in
Armenia and the Diaspora. Hundreds of faithful, representatives of sister
Churches and members of the Brotherhood of Holy Etchmiadzin gathered in the
Cathedral to hear the traditional reading from the prophet Daniel, the
readings from the Holy Scriptures concerning the birth of Christ and to
participate in the liturgy.
Following the candlelight Divine Liturgy, His Holiness offered a Home
Blessing service in the Pontifical Residence, and prayed for our Lord to
keep and protect the Armenian Church, her hierarchal centers, her dioceses,
clergy and faithful under the protection of His Holy Cross in 2005 and
always.
