    PanARMENIAN.Net - On the eve of the feast of the entrance of St.
    Gregory the Illuminator to Khor Virab (the 'deep well'), His Holiness
    Catholicos Aram I of the Holy See of Cilicia blessed the water with
    the relic of St. Gregory the Illuminator, sharing with the pilgrims
    the mission of the great saint to the Armenian people.

    "We, the pilgrims gathered at the Catholicosate of Cilicia, we besiege
    you with our prayers Great companion of our journey of faith," His
    Holiness said in his prayer.

    "The Apostle of the faith of the Armenian people, guard and protect us
    through your deep faith. Destroy all evil surrounding us and lead us to
    the eternal fountain of heavenly gifts and righteousness... Enlighten
    our dark paths and pour your heavenly blessings upon our people,
    on our families and our Big family. Lead us all as a nation to your
    Glory, to the glory of the Church of Christ and the Armenian Apostolic
    Orthodox Church."

    At the end of the water blessing ceremony, the relic of the Great
    Saint of the Armenian nation remained on the Alter of the Cathedral
    for the pilgrims to offer their prayers.
