This is the second Sunday following Easter, and is one of the feasts of the Armenian Church. The feast is observed in commemoration of the first Christian Church; that is, the Upper Room in Jerusalem, where Christ held the Last Supper and established the sacrament of the holy communion.
Later, on the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit descended on the same place where thereupon the Apostles gathered, prayed, and held communion services with the first Christians. Thus the Upper Room, as the first Church of Christianity, became the prototype of Christian Churches, for which it is called the World Church. World Church day is also called Green Sunday as a symbol of spiritual blooming.
