    Festival held at St. Mark Armenian Church

    By Sy Becker

    SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) - Hundreds came as they do every year to
    celebrate Armenian culture and traditions. The traditional dances
    helped families work up an appetite for the famous Armenian food. It
    was truly a festive occasion for church members of all ages.

    Church member Stephen Diefenderfer told 22News, "It's awesome, it's a
    good fundraiser for the church and I just love seeing people come
    together through Armenian culture. I look forward to it."

    Since we're such a mobile society and so many of us move away, it
    takes events like the St. Mark Armenian Church festival to reunite
    those who had been very close down through the years.

    "We have so many friends here, this church is like a family to us and
    to the whole community. Everyone gets along great, we have an awesome
    time, and the food is always the best," said Jane Kapoian, a longtime
    Parishioner.

    Those who came to eat, dance and socialize enjoyed the best of all
    worlds. They spent an important part of the Labor Day weekend savoring
    the culture and camaraderie of their beloved Armenian church.
