    The St. Vardanants Day- celebrated in memory of Armenian Commander
    Vardan Mamikonyan and his 1036 martyrs

    The Armenian Church was involved in the defense of the Motherland since
    the adoption of Christianity in Armenia. The Battle of Avarayr is a
    striking example of it. On May 26, 451 the Armenian Church, headed by
    the Catholicos Joseph, with Armenian warriors took part in the Battle
    of Avarayr. In order to preserve the country, the Armenian Church and
    Christianity, Vardan Mamikonian (Father of Saint Shushanik) and his
    1036 martyrs - the great saints of the Armenian Apostolic Church -
    died the death of heroes. The clergy not only inspired the soldiers
    before the battle, but also baptized them and strengthened their faith
    and spirit. According to Yeghishe a prominent Armenian historian on
    the eve of the battle the clergy had built an altar and commited the
    Holy Mystery, and if some of the soldiers were not baptized, baptized
    them all night, and the next morning they received Holy Communion. The
    Battle of Avarayr was the evidence that truly nothing will turn away
    the Armenians from the idea of Christian Motherland.

    The St. Vardanants Day will be solemnly celebrated at the Mother See
    of Holy Etchmiadzin and at all Armenian churches a Divine Liturgy
    will be served on 7 February..
