FOCUS ON ECHMIADZIN: MOTHER SEE PREPARES FOR CANONIZATION OF GENOCIDE MARTYRS
GENOCIDE | 23.04.15 | 15:09
The Armenian Apostolic Church tonight prepares to conduct a ceremony
in which the victims of the Ottoman-era Genocide will be canonized
as saints.
At the end of the rite to be performed jointly by His Holiness
Karekin II, the Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians,
and Catholicos Aram I, of the Great House of Cilicia, all Armenian
churches around the world (accept in Turkey) as well as some other
sister churches will ring for a 100 times symbolizing the centenary
that has passed since the start of the 1915 Genocide of Armenians in
Ottoman Turkey.
Among the churches that will join the peel will also be the Cathedral
of Our Lady of Strasbourg.
The Armenian Church says that by the canonization of the Genocide
victims it does not indicate the specific number of 1.5 million
victims, distinguish their spiritual deeds or gives the names of the
individuals, but proclaims the collective martyrdom of those who were
killed for the sake of their faith and their homeland.
