Travel to Historic Armenia
The Eastern Diocese will make a pilgrimage to historic Armenia, from September 5 to 19, 2012.
Participants will have the opportunity to take part in the
celebration of the Divine Liturgy at Holy Cross Church on the island of
Aghtamar and prayer services at the recently consecrated St. Giragos
Armenian Church of Dikranagert and the St. Gregory Church in Kayseri.
The pilgrimage also includes visits to Armenia's magnificent former
capital of Ani and tours of other parts of historic Armenia—Arapkir,
Kars, Antep, and Malatya, among other cities and villages. The journey
will include a stop in Istanbul, where pilgrims will visit the Armenian
Patriarchate.
