The Armenian faith community is coming together for Armenian
Hokehankist Memorial services on Monday, which is Memorial Day.
The services are at 10 a.m. at Ararat Armenian Cemetery, which is at
1925 W. Belmont Ave., and 10:30 a.m. at Masis Ararat Armenian
Cemetery, which is nearby at 250 N. Hughes Ave.
Clergy members from Armenian churches in the Valley will conduct the
Hokehankist services, which remember the men and women who have fallen
while serving in the U.S. armed forces.
Members of Armenian church youth groups are placing American flags at
the grave sites of U.S. veterans.
Hokehankist services also remember deceased members of the Armenian
community in the area, as well as those who died in the Armenian
Genocide of 1915.
The public is welcome at the services. The Ararat Armenian Cemetery
Association oversees both cemeteries. Details: (559) 292-2415.
