    We convey our blessings to you and your family on one of the most meaningful
    observances of the year: Thanksgiving. How wonderful it is to live in a
    country that sets aside this day each year, to express gratitude for the
    bounties God has given us.

    The idea of giving thanks to God has deep roots in the Armenian Christian
    tradition. Our daily prayers, indeed the Divine Liturgy itself, are all
    profound reflections on the theme of Thanksgiving. We are thankful, above
    all, for the great gift God bestowed on all the world, through His son,
    Jesus Christ.

    This Thursday, as we remember the many good things in our lives, let us also
    offer thanks for the greatest blessing of all, which gives meaning and depth
    to all the others. In the words of the Gospel of St. John: `God so loved the
    world that He gave it His only Son.'

    May the blessings of Thanksgiving, and the coming Advent season, be with you
    and your loved ones always.

    With prayers,

    Archbishop Khajag Barsamian
    Primate
