On May 6 St Jacob Church was consecrated in Stepanakert. The first
liturgy was dedicated to the army. The money for the construction was
provided by Vache Yepremian from California in honor of his killed
brother Hakob. The parents and relatives of Hagob Yepremian arrived
from California.
Several days before the reconstructed St Stephen Church had been opened
in the village of Khachen. The church is over a century old. The church
was first consecrated on May 5, 2007. The church bell rang again on
May 2, 2007. The reconstruction of St Stephen Church was sponsored by
SPFA (Solidarite Protestante France-Armenie). Jacques Matossian said
the first sponsor was a citizen of Nice. The Armenianos organization
also supported the construction. There were private donations as well,
and the repair in the church and the adjacent territory was finished
by Samvel Sahagian, chair of SPFA.
