    Rev. Fr. Trdat Martirosian Enters Eternal Rest

    It is with profound sorrow that the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin informs
    our faithful that following a long and serious illness, Rev. Fr. Trdat
    Martirosian has entered his eternal rest.  Fr. Trdat, a monk and member of
    the Brotherhood of Holy Etchmiadzin, died on June 25.  He was 33.

    His Holiness Karekin II, Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians,
    and the Brotherhood of Holy Etchmiadzin deeply mourn the untimely death of
    this young, devoted and faithful clergyman.

    Rev. Fr. Trdat Martirosian (baptismal name - Hovhannes) was born in the city
    of Etchmiadzin on December 23, 1973.  He was admitted to the Gevorkian
    Theological Seminary in 1989, and graduated in 1995.  He was ordained a
    deacon on October 22, 1995.  On June 2, 1996, he was ordained a celibate
    priest by His Eminence Archbishop Shahe Ajemian, of blessed memory.

    Following ordination, Fr. Trdat brought his service to the Gevorkian
    Theological Seminary, and later as parish priest in Plovdiv, Bulgaria
    (Armenian Diocese of Bulgaria).

    Fr. Trdat's body will be placed in the Monastery of St. Gayane on June 26. 
    The church rite of burial will commence at 7:00 PM.  On June 27, Divine
    Liturgy will be celebrated at 10:00 AM, during which last rites and
    interment services will be offered.  His body will be interred in the
    cemetery of the Brotherhood of Holy Etchmiadzin.

    Blessed be the memory of the righteous.
