ST. VARTAN CATHEDRAL HOSTS HIGH SCHOOL HISTORY CLASS
On Wednesday, January 12, 2005, New York City's St. Vartan Cathedral
played host to 80 students from Fairfield High School in Fairfield, CT.
The history students, three teachers, and the school's principal were in
New York City as part of a class focused on the history of the Middle
East and Asia Minor. To better understand the religious history of the
area they visited St. Vartan Cathedral, Central Synagogue, and the New
York Mosque.
The students were given a tour of the St. Vartan Cathedral complex by
Fr. Mardiros Chevian, dean of the cathedral, who also answered their
questions about the Armenian culture and faith. After the tour they
were treated to Armenian baklava.
"The St. Vartan Cathedral, in many ways, serves as a representative of
the Armenian people. We always welcome anyone to come, visit, and learn
about our faith and our Armenian traditions," Fr. Chevian said.
