On July 15, students and teachers of Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin's
Armenian College and Philanthropic Academy (ACPA) and the
Armenian Community of Kolkata, India celebrated the Feast of Holy
Transfiguration of Our Lord Jesus Christ (Vartavar).
The Holy Transfiguration is one of the five major Feasts in the
Armenian Church Calendar. The Divine Liturgy was held at Holy Nazareth
Mother Church. The Church Service and subsequent baptism were conducted
by Very Rev. Father Khoren Hovhannisyan, Pastor of Armenians in India
and Manager of Armenian College and Philanthropic Academy.
The Celebration was doubly blessed - on one hand there was the great
joy of Celebration of Holy Transfiguration of our Lord Jesus Christ
and on the other, was the memorable occasion for seven young students
of Armenian College as it was the day of their baptism.
Alvard Nikoghosyan, Mariam Avetisyan, Gevorg Lazarian, Sirvard
Hovhannisyan, Gegham Badalyan, Avetis Avetisyan, Tatevik Yeghoyan
are the children of the big ACPA family who got baptised on this
auspicious day.
At the sacrament, senior students of ACPA became godfathers to
those who got baptized. A grand lunch in the School Dining Hall was
organized on this occasion by the management of ACPA where the newly
baptized children got their crosses and gifts from their guardian,
Father Khoren.
