PanARMENIAN.Net - An annual autumn food bazaar at a Fresno church this
year will salute the 390th anniversary of the Thanksgiving tradition
in North America.
First Armenian Presbyterian Church will recognize the Pilgrims'
celebration of the good harvest of 1621 at its Merchants' Lunch and
Country Store bazaar on Thursday, November 17.
The church's senior pastor, the Rev. Mgrdich Melkonian, in his
greetings and prayers at the event, will recall that autumn feast
of the Plymouth colonists and the Wampanoag Native Americans. First
Armenian Presbyterian Church is California's oldest Armenian church.
The Merchants' Lunch includes traditional Armenian cuisine. The lunch
is available on a dine-in, take-out or drive-through basis.
The Country Store offers holiday shopping for ethnic delicacies. It
also will sell a revised printing of the Fidelis Women's Society
Centennial recipe book, "A Hundred Years and Still Cooking." It
includes recipes by the pioneering Armenian women who first settled
in the Valley more than 120 years ago, Fresno Bee reported.
