    Liturgy in Tsitsernakaberd and Mount Aragats to support Holy Cross of Van


    Armenian medieval architectural masterpiece Holly Cross of Van, having
    no cross on top of it will host a ceremony of serving a liturgy today.
    Withstanding Armenian traditions, Turkish authorities made the weight
    of the cross a reason not to put it in its right place, currently the
    cross is put somewhere near the church. This stipulated a wave of
    protests and many Armenians longing to attend the holy liturgy
    canceled their trips to Van.

    Not ignoring that wave of protest, Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute
    will serve a liturgy in Tsitsernakaberd and a rally will take place
    against Turkish Government's propaganda.
    When the liturgy will be served in Holy Cross, the participants of
    `Armenian Knight' televised show will light candles on top of Mount
    Aragats targeting the support of Holy Cross.

    Holy Cross Church of Van was built in 95-921 by architect Manvel
    during the reign of Armenian Gagik Artsruni. The church is the
    greatest achievement of Armenian art. In 2007 under the pressure of
    the international society Turkish Government took the initiative to
    reconstruct the church. Turkish Government allocated $1,5 million.
