    Through the centuries Armenian culture has developed in a
    contemporary, unusual and thriving way. Many aspects of Armenian
    culture are based on the music, literature, and geographical placement
    of the people. The culture of Armenia is distinctly different and yet
    strikingly similar to the neighboring nations of Georgia, Russia, and
    Iran as well as Mediterranean countries like Italy, and Greece.
    Armenian culture has heavy influences of both its Eastern neighbors,
    along with an inherent influence from Europe in the West.

    Culture in Armenia has many facets, the most important are music,
    dance, art, literature, cuisine, lace making, cinema, sports,
    woodcraft and smithies.

    Armenia's culture has seen a lot of exchange and change through the
    centuries yet its core values depending upon the existence of large
    joint families. Armenian culture is hence a perfect amalgamation of
    the best achievements of the past with the high hopes of future.

    His Holiness Garegin Hovsepian, the Catholicos of the Holy See of
    Cilicia of the Armenian Apostolic Church from 1943-1952, in reference
    to Holy Translator Day, had declared the month of October as Armenian
    cultural month and since then it is celebrated in the Armenian world
    with great enthusiasm.

    The public at large is invited to be present at this soul searching
    presentation and public service program. The event is sponsored by Mr.
    and Mrs. Vahe and Aida Jooharian.

    The event which is organized by Crescenta Valley Armenian Apostolic
    Church ( CV Church ) and CV Church Educational Committee is free and
    open to the public. There will be a reception before the start of the
    program at the completion of the Divine Liturgy.
