    FOUNDATIONS OF THE CHURCH LAID

    The dream of the inhabitants of the capital of NKR to have a church
    in the city will soon fulfill. On September 15 the foundation stones
    of St. Jacob Church near Hekimian Street in Stepanakert were laid. At
    the ceremony of confirmation churchmen of Artsakh Diocese of the
    Armenian Apostolic Church, officials and believers were present. The
    Armenian benefactor Vache Yepremian from Los Angeles who will sponsor
    the construction of the church was also present. After washing with
    water and wine and anointing with chrism the 16 stones symbolizing
    the 13 apostles, 2 evangelists and Gregory the Illuminator were
    placed in the foundation of the church. Vache Yepremian said the idea
    of building a church in Stepanakert occurred during his talks with
    Archbishop of Artsakh Parghev Martirossian; he was surprised to learn
    that there was no church in Stepanakert. The construction of the
    church will last till next spring. And in the second half of October
    the foundations of the cathedral will be laid. Its construction will
    probably last for 2 - 3 years.
