Youth to march to church
Youth will bring the lamp that was taken from Khor Virap to the St. Gregory the Illuminator Church in Yerevan this Saturday morning.
"This is how we mark the day that the relics of St. Gregory the Illuminator were found. By the blessing of Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II, this day has been declared as a day of pilgrimage to this church," enlightener of the St. Gregory the Illuminator Church in Yerevan, priest Hovsep Alexanyan told "A1+".
St. Gregory spent the last years of life writing theological poems. After his death, pastors found his body, buried it, took the relics and distributed them to different Christian churches.
Some of his relics are at the St. Gregory the Illuminator Church in Yerevan.
On that day, the church will serve a liturgy, which will be followed by a blessing and a reception according to tradition.
