A Spiritual and Cultural Event was Organized by the Armenian Diocese
in Georgia and the "Hayartun" Center in Armenian-populated Samshvilde
Village of Tetritskaro district On 29 June 2013 within the framework of
spiritual and cultural events organized by the Diocese of the Armenian
Apostolic Orthodox Holy Church in Georgia and the "Hayartun" Center,
at Surb Prkich Church in Samshvilde village of Tetritskaro region,
built in 1844, under the leadership of the Primate of the Armenian
Diocese in Georgia, His Grace Bishop Vazgen Mirzakhanyan the Divine
Liturgy was conducted. The Coordinator of the "Hayartun" Center Levon
Chidilyan, Adviser to the Head of the Diocese Levon Isakhanyan, the
Head of IT Department Valera Badalyan, the spiritual supervisor Deacon
Gevorg Antonyan and the Manager on economic affairs Karen Yeritsyan
had arrived from Tbilisi to attend the divine service. The benefactor
of "Hayartun" Center residing in Russia - Boris Saakov also arrived
in Samshvilde.
Priest Narek Ghushchyan conducted the Divine Liturgy with the
participation of Tbilisi Surb Gevorg Church Choir (conductor Luiza
Vardanova), which filled with spiritual joy the village inhabitants
who are devoid of spiritual life.
During the meeting with the village community the Head of the
Diocese delivered a sermon concerning the Feast Day of the Twelve
Holy Apostles of Christ and St. Paul, the Thirteenth Apostle, while
blessing the audience Bishop Vazgen Mirzakhanyan encouraged them to
remain faithful to the Armenian Church, to preserve the language and
traditions and live in the Armenian spirit.
In the village center a splendid concert featuring solo performers
and dance ensemble "Ani", functioning at the "Hayartun" Center,
(choreographer Angelina Nazaryan-Kochyan) was held.
Additionally we want to say that Samshvilde village Head and the
local secondary school Principal had been informed of the arrival
of the Head of the Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Orthodox Holly
Church in Georgia and the delegation of Tbilisi Armenians, but for
some unknown reasons both of them were absent. Yet the meeting of
the clergy and artists with villagers was held in a warm atmosphere.
