Sunday, April 24 is being observed as the “Feast of the Holy Martyrs of the Armenian Genocide.” Parishes across the Eastern Diocese will perform a special service following the Divine Liturgy on this occasion.
To prepare for that service, view the latest episode of “Bread and Salt: Stories from the Armenian Church,” which revisits last April’s canonization service, and explains what has shifted in the way we now regard the Holy Martyrs of 1915. Click here to view the video.

Christ our God, you crown your saints with triumph and you do the will of all who fear you,
looking after your creatures with love and kindness.
Hear us from your heavenly realm by the intercession of the Holy Mother of God and by
the prayers of all your saints, especially the Holy Martyrs who gave their lives during the
Armenian Genocide for faith and for the homeland, whom we commemorate today.
Hear us Lord, and show us your mercy. Forgive, redeem and pardon our sins.
Make us worthy thankfully to glorify you with the Father and with the Holy Spirit.
Now and always unto the ages of ages. Amen.
