ARTSAKHPRESS: Today Candlelight Divine Liturgy was served at the Holy Mother of God Cathedral in Stepanakert.
The liturgy was led by Father Nerses Asryan.
“As in the sky, so in our souls there is darkness of uncertainty, darkness of waiting. But the darkest nights in the world are replaced by the light.
“We all have feelings of uncertainty and anxiety about the future of our country; we have different negative feelings that darken our souls. However, this uncertainty is dispelled by a great message: Christ is born and revealed. Blessed is the revelation of Christ,” said Father Nerses Asryan, in particular.
