In a special video message to the faithful, Bishop Mesrop Parsamyan, Primate of the Eastern Diocese of the Armenian Church of America, reflects on the upcoming ceremonies at the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin.
On September 28, 2024, His Holiness Karekin II, the Catholicos of All Armenians, will lead the rare "Blessing of Muron" service, whereby the holy oil used in the sacraments of every Armenian Church across the globe will be sanctified. A day later, on Sunday, September 29, His Holiness will reconsecrate the Mother Cathedral of Holy Etchmiadzin, opening again to public worship after a decade-long restoration.
As Bishop Mesrop says, "We will all be united—all our faithful, around the world—by the sanctifying oil that will be blessed on September 28."
