Aram I holds Christmas mass
NNA - 06/01/2012 The Armenian community celebrated Christmas Friday
with a mass held by Catholicos Aram I at the Armenian Orthodox
Catholicosate in Antelias, asserting the right of Christians to thrive
in the East as an integral part of its history.
A number of high-ranking Armenian officials attended the sermon, held
by head of the Catholicosate of the Great House of Cilicia and
Catholicos of the Holy See of Cilicia of the Armenian Apostolic
Church, most notably representative of Speaker of the House, MP Hagop
Pakradounian.
"We, as Christians, support peaceful movements that call for justice
and Muslim-Christian co-existence," said his Holiness. He demanded the
preservation of the rights of Eastern Christians as a consecration of
the principle of equality and citizenship.
He finally hoped that events in the region do not reflect negatively
on Lebanon's domestic situation.
