by Ron Orozco / The Fresno Bee
The area's Armenian faith community will come together at Armenian
Hokehankist Memorial Services on Monday.
The Hokehankist, or Requiem Service, will be conducted at 10 a.m. at
the Armenian Martyrs Memorial at Ararat Armenian Cemetery, which is at
1925 W. Belmont Ave., and 10:30 a.m. at the Soghomon Tehlirian
Monument at nearby Masis Ararat Armenian Cemetery, which is at 250 N.
Hughes Ave.
The Revs. Vahan Gosdanian, pastor of Holy Trinity Armenian Apostolic
Church, and Kevork Arakelian, former pastor of St. Gregory Armenian
Orthodox Church in Fowler, will participate in the services.
The services will remember the men and women who have died while
serving in the U.S. armed forces, the local American-Armenian
community members who have passed away and the 1.5 million Armenians
who died in the Armenian Genocide in 1915.
In preparation for the services, members of the youth group at Holy
Trinity Armenian Apostolic Church will gather today to place American
flags on the gravesites of the known veterans who served in the U.S.
armed forces.
Details: (559) 292-2415.
