SUNDAY SCHOOL CHILDREN CELEBRATE THE EVE OF THE GREAT FAST "POON PAREGENTAN"
IN THE VEHARAN
The Christian Education Department of the Catholicosate of Cilicia organized
its first informal event on February 3, when Sunday School students
performed a special program in the Veharan following the Holy Mass. The
director of the Sunday School, Rev. Fr. Ghevont Pentezian presented the
children to the Catholicos, who welcomed them with fatherly love.
As is customary on the Feast of Paregentan, the children were dressed up in
beautiful, colorful costumes, some representing the heroes they envisioned,
others in religious costumes. They excitedly recited the hymns and Psalms
they had studied.
The Pontiff gathered the children under his arms like a father, blessed them
and spread in their hearts love towards the Armenian Church and the Sunday
School. Those moments became an unforgettable experience for the children.
