    CANONIZATION OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE VICTIMS DUE ON APRIL 23

    15:00 03/02/2015 >> SOCIETY

    After an interval of about 400 years, for the first time, the Armenian
    Apostolic Church will conduct a canonization ceremony on April 23,
    2015, in the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin, for the victims of the
    Armenian Genocide, Director of the Office for Conceptual Issues of
    the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin, Bishop Bagrat Galstanyan, told
    reporters on Tuesday.

    He said that it will be collective canonization. Special rites have
    been developed for the ceremony.

    The ceremony will start at 4:30 pm or 5:00 pm and will end at 7:15
    pm, symbolizing the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. Bells
    will ring one hundred times in all Armenian churches all across the
    world, and the attendees will observe one minute's silence for the
    Genocide victims.

    Invitations have been sent to various churches throughout the world.
