    ST. VARTAN CATHEDRAL'S BRONZE ENTRY DOORS TO BE BLESSED ON MAY 31

    NEW YORK, MAY 19, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. St. Vartan Mother
    Cathedral's new three bronze entry doors will be solemnly opened and
    blessed on May 31 at the Cathedral.

    St. Vartan Mother Cathedral last year celebrated its 40th anniversary
    of its concecration. The majestic structure located in Manhattan is
    the most ambitious undertaking of the Armenian American community and
    it stands as a monument to the Armenian presence in the U.S. Although
    the structure has long been completed a number of the refinements of
    the original cathedral project were put on hold in 1960, for financial
    and other reasons, at the time of its construction.

    On May 31 the new bronze doors of the Cathedral, which are remarkable
    works of art and depict the baptism of Armenia's King Drtad III by
    St. Gregory the Illuminator, will be blessed during the open ceremony
    held at the Cathedral.
