    More information:

    The heroic struggle and victory of Musa Ler will be celebrated,
    marking the 96th year of remembrance for the people from the small
    Armenian villages, once located in the Cilician region, now in Turkey.

    During the years of the Armenian Genocide, the people of Musa Ler were
    facing extermination. In defiance, the villagers climbed atop a local
    mountain, Musa Ler. They fought the advancing Turkish Army for 52 days and
    were finally saved by a French ship passing by on the Mediterranean Sea.

    This year's festivities will begin with a family picnic/camping on September
    17 at Camp Arev in Frazier Park from 6 PM to midnight. The cooking of the
    Harisa, a lamb and whole wheat stew, will begin and Traditional Davul Zurna
    music will be performed, followed by a DJ and dancing.

    The following day, September 18, Divine Liturgy Sunday morning at 10.
    Following the service will be the blessing and serving of the Harisa
    followed by Traditional Davul Zurna music and DJ until 6 PM. Armenian
    BBQ Kebab and refreshments will also be sold.


    Thank you,
