    22nd ANNIVERSARY OF ARMENIAN INDEPENDENCE

    This Saturday, September 21, is the 22nd anniversary of the
    Independent Republic of Armenia. God bless Armenia.

    `...Thanks to God, we once again have a free and independent
    Armenia. However, it is not enough to simply take pride and joy in
    this fact. It is crucial that we bring our active participation to the
    sacred work
    of building the nation and the state. It is true that we are citizens
    of different countries and as such we have a primary responsibility to
    fulfill our civil obligations in those countries. Yet, we have a
    homeland that belongs to us and keeps reminding us that we all belong
    to one nation. While we
    are not physically living in Armenia, Armenia must become a living
    reality
    in our lives. ... Helping Armenia is not a humanitarian task. It is a
    sacred vocation of each and every Armenian, since we all belong to
    Armenia whether we are living there or elsewhere."

    His Holiness Aram I, Catholicos of the Great House of Cilicia

    (From message delivered at St. Illuminator's Cathedral, New York, upon
    arrival for his first pontifical visit to the Eastern Prelacy of the
    United States and Canada, October 1, 1997.)

    PRELATE TRAVELS TO ARMENIA

    Archbishop Oshagan is travelling to Armenia where he will join with

    Etchmiadzin. The conclave will take place from September 24 to 27,
    with the presence and blessings of His Holiness Karekin II, Supreme
    Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians, and
    His Holiness Aram I, Catholicos of the Great House of Cilicia. The
    gathering will study the question of reforming the canons and
    liturgical practices
    of the Armenian Church.

    Bishop Anoushavan will also travel to Armenia to participate in the
    historic conclave that is bringing together all of the Archbishops and
    Bishops of

    Saturday, October 5, 2013, from 2-6 pm, at Pashalian Hall,
    St. Illuminator's Cathedral, 221 East 27th Street, New York City. The

    Hrair Hawk Khatcherian holds a copy of `One Church, One Nation,' as he
    speaks about his encounters during his travels to fulfill his
    promise to photograph every Armenian Church in the world.

    A NEW MONUMENTAL BOOK BY HAWK

    A new book, that has taken many years of work to complete, was
    presented last Sunday at St. Illuminator's Cathedral. The book, `One
    Church, One Nation,' is a result of a promise make by the book's
    author, noted photographer Hrair Hawk Khatcherian, twenty years ago.

    Introduced by Rev. Fr. Mesrob Lakissian, pastor of the Cathedral, Hawk
    explained the events that led to this day. In 1993 he was diagnosed
    with terminal lung cancer and given only ten days to live. Khatcherian
    described how as he contemplated this grim prognosis, he made a
    promise to God that if He
    allowed him to live, he would photograph every Armenian church in
    every country in the world. At the same time, in the same hospital,
    his mother-in-law, Araxie, was given a diagnosis of advanced breast
    cancer. `She died holding my hand and she passed along the rest of her
    life to me,' Hawk told the audience. `I had ten days to live, not ten
    days to die. That was twenty years ago. I'm still around.'
    Appropriately, this book is dedicated in loving memory of Araxie.

    A lively and engaging speaker, Khatcherian described the ambitious
    project
    and his many journeys that took him around the world in fulfillment of
    his
    promise. The audience had many questions for him that he happily
    answered.
    Afterwards he signed copies of this newest volume as well as his other
    books that were available for purchase.

    BIBLE READINGS

    Bible readings for Sunday, September 22, Second Sunday of the
    Exaltation (Eve of the Fast of the Holy Cross of Varak), are: Isaiah
    14:3-17; 2 Corinthians 10:18-11:10; Mark 10:1-12.

    He left that place and went to the region of Judea and beyond the
    Jordan. And crowds again gathered around him; and, as was his custom,
    he again taught them.

    Some Pharisees came, and to test him they asked, `Is it lawful for
    a man to divorce his wife?' He answered them, `What did Moses command
    you?' They said, `Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of
    dismissal and to divorce her.' But Jesus said to them, `Because of
    your hardness of heart he wrote this commandment for you. But from the
    beginning of creation, `God made them male and
    female.' For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and
    be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.' So they
    are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined
    together, let no one separate.'

    Then in the house the disciples asked him again about this matter. He
    said
    to them, `Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits
    adultery against her; and if she divorces her husband and marries
    another, she commits adultery.' (Mark 10:1-12)

    PAREGENTAN OF THE HOLY CROSS OF VARAK

    This Sunday, September 22, is the Paregentan (Eve) of the Fast of the
    Holy
    Cross of Varak. Monday to Friday are fasting days leading up to next
    Sunday, September 29, when the Feast of the Holy Cross of Varak will
    be commemorated.

    ST. SHOUSHAN

    Next Tuesday, September 24, the Armenian Church celebrates Princess
    Shoushan, daughter of Vartan Mamigonian and great-granddaughter of
    Sahag Bartev. She was educated under the tutelage of St. Sahag and her
    mother, Sahaganoosh. Her father's life and martyrdom influenced her to
    become a devout and faithful Christian. Her birth name was Varteny,
    but she was called Shoushan because of her extraordinary piety. She
    was married to Vazken, a son
    of a Georgian king, and had three sons and a daughter. After the death
    of her father-in-law, her husband became power-hungry, went to Persia,
    renounced the Christian faith and returned to Georgia with another
    wife, and tried
    to force Shoushan to renounce her Christian faith. Even after years of
    imprisonment and torture she refused to renounce the faith for which
    her father had fought so valiantly.


    THIS WEEK IN ARMENIAN HISTORY

    Death of Manuk Abeghian (September 25, 1944)

    Manuk Abeghian was one of the most important scholars of Armenian
    Studies in the first half of the twentieth century. At the conclusion
    of his remarkable career, he became one of the founding members of the
    Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Armenia in 1943.

    Abeghian was born on March 17, 1865 in the village of Astapat, in the
    historical Armenian province of Nakhichevan (today in territory of
    Azerbaijan).
    He was the son of an agriculturist. After his initial studies in the
    school of the monastery of Karmir Vank, in 1876 he entered the
    Kevorkian Seminary of Etchmiadzin and graduated in 1885. He taught for
    many years in schools
    of Shushi (Karabagh) and Tiflis. In 1893 he went to Europe and became
    an auditor at the German universities of Jena, Leipzig, and Berlin, as
    well as in the University of Paris. In 1898 he was awarded his
    doctorate at the University of Jena, where he defended a dissertation
    on the ancient Armenian beliefs.

    He returned to the Caucasus and was a teacher in his alma mater, the
    Kevorkian Seminary, until 1914. Then, he moved to Tiflis, where he
    taught at the
    Nersisian Lyceum until 1918.

    He moved to Armenia in 1921 and became a professor at Yerevan State
    University; he also was the dean of the Faculty of History and
    Literature from 1923-1925. In 1935 he earned a second doctorate, this
    time in Armenian philology.

    Abeghian was a foremost scholar in a variety of disciplines of
    Armenian Studies. He was a pioneering figure in the study of Armenian
    mythology. Besides recording several variants of the Armenian national
    epics David of Sassoun, he was the author of its first specialized
    study (1889). Together with his colleague Garo Melik-Ohanjanian, they
    both prepared a three-volume edition of all available variants of the
    epics (published between 1936 and 1951). Abeghian was also one of the
    authors of an integral version of the epics, which condensed all the
    variants into one single text (1939). He also published critical
    editions of Armenian popular songs and medieval poetry.

    Among his major works was the two-volume History of Ancient Armenian
    Literature (1944-1945), which was left unfinished because of his
    death. Many of his studies were published in a collection of eight
    volumes between 1966 and 1985.

    Abeghian's name was linked to the reform of Armenian orthography in
    1922. After the sovietization of Armenia, the new regime started a
    policy
    aimed at the simplification of Armenian orthography, whose ultimate
    purpose was to eliminate the Armenian alphabet and replace it with
    Latin script. In 1921, Abeghian presented his personal views as a
    report in a conference organized by the Commissariat (Ministry) of
    Education. The same report was used a year later by the Commissariat,
    without consulting with Abeghian, to
    decree, on March 4, 1922, the reform of the orthography. For this
    reason, it is common to call the reformed orthography with the name of
    `Abeghian spelling.' The excesses in this reform motivated a new
    change
    in the Soviet Armenian orthography-used today in Armenia, the former
    Soviet Union, and among the `new diaspora' formed after the migration
    of the past 25 years-in 1940, which made it closer to
    classical orthography (used today by the Diaspora, both speakers of
    Western Armenian and of Eastern Armenian, in the case of Iran).

    Manuk Abeghian passed away in 1944. The Institute of Literature of the
    Armenian National of Academy carries his name.

    Armenian Legionnaires

    95th ANNIVERSARY OF BATTLE OF ARARA

    Today, September 19, is the 95th anniversary of the World War I Battle
    of Arara, in which the Legion d'Orient (Armenian Legion) played a
    major role. Four Armenian Legion brigades fought with the Allies in
    Palestine to achieve a victory that led to the end of the war for the
    Turkish army, which was defeated in October of 1918. The role of the
    Armenian Legion was so
    pivotal that its efforts were recognized by the top commanders of the
    Allied Forces. General Edmund Allenby commended Armenian forces in his
    official
    dispatch to the Allied High Command: `On the right flank, on the
    coastal hills, the units of the Armenian Legion d'Orient fought with
    great valour. Despite the difficulty of the terrain and the strength
    of the enemy defensive lines, at an early hour, they took the hill of
    Dir el Kassis.' Allenby also said, `I am proud to have had an Armenian
    contingent under my command. They have fought very brilliantly and
    have played a great part in the victory.'
