    BIKF AYA HOLDS A WEEK OF PRAYERS AND CONTEMPLATION


    Daily prayers and contemplation are being held in the chapel of St. Mary
    Monastery in Bikfaya on the occasion of the holiday of St. Mary and the
    upcoming pilgrimage to the monastery named after this holiday.

    As a preparation for this pilgrimage, daily morning contemplations are
    organized by the Christian Education Department of the Catholicosate of
    Cilicia and under the sponsorship of His Holiness Aram I. The contemplations
    are guided by the members of the Cilician Brotherhood in participation with
    the Seminary students.

    The Brotherhood members are consecutively presenting the following topics
    that clarify the role of the Holy Mother in Christian life, dogma and
    theology: "The Holy Mother in the Old and New Books", "The Holy Mother in
    our Church's hymns and prayers", "The Holy Mother as an advocate for
    humanity", "The Holy Mother as an example of motherhood", "The conduct of
    the Holy Mother and change".

    The Christian Education Department of the Catholicosate has ventured on
    organizing these useful lectures for the public with the aim of preparing
    the Armenian faithful for the upcoming holiday. Introducing the faithful to
    the life of the Holy Mother, her role in our Church's theology, explaining
    to the dogma and concept of the Armenian Church regarding her person and
    role would help them greet this holiday with a conscious approach. Alongside
    the contemplations hymns will be sung and sections from the Psalms will be
    read.
