    THE ARMENIAN APOSTOLIC CHURCH
    ENTERS THE GREAT LENT PERIOD

    The Armenian Apostolic Church and its faithful entered the 40-day Great Lent
    period on February 4, starting an excellent journey of self-reflection and
    correction.

    Especially close to the hearts of our faithful are the Sunrise and Vespers
    Services- held on the mornings and evenings of every Wednesday and Friday-
    with the hymns and prayers of Saint Nerses Shenorhali and Saint Gregory
    Naregatsi.

    Following established tradition, Catholicos Aram I will preside over the
    Sunrise services every Wednesday and Friday morning (7:00 AM) and the
    Vespers service on the evenings (5:00 PM) of the same days. Believers will
    perform the hymns themselves by following the special booklet prepared by
    the Christian Education Department.

    After the Sunrise service held on Wednesday mornings, the members of the
    Cilician Brotherhood will conduct sessions of spiritual contemplation in the
    Mother Cathedral.
