+johannesnicolaas Through the intercession of your virgin Mother accept the supplications of your servants, O Christ, who with your blood has made your holy Church more resplendent than the heavens. You have also appointed within her, after the pattern of the heavenly hosts, the orders of apostles, prophets and holy teachers. This day we, classes of priests, deacons, clerks and servers here assembled, offer incense before you, O Lord, as Zachariah did of old. Accept from us our prayers with offerings of incense, like the sacrifice of Abel, of Noah and of Abraham. Through the intercession o

Dear Andranik, thank you very much.

I love this hymn too. It is my favourite Armenian church song. Absolutely beautiful

There are some hymns of Yekmalyan that were edited by Komitas after his death

Dear Metta, I would not say so... Firstly, I wrote that comment because there are lots of Orthodox "missionaries" on the web who comment to almost all videos about our church, trying to prove that we are heretics... Secondly, there were lots of Armenian missionary Saints in ancient time, e.g. St. Servatius, St. Chrysolius, St. Blaise etc.. Armenians had and still have an important role in preserving christian heritage, e.g. the Armenian presence in Jerusalem (for hundreds of years) and lots of pilgrims in Jerusalem take part in the Armenian Mass and receive Communion. Not to mention about Armenian presence in early monastic and ascetic life (e.g. St. Euthymius the Great)... Thirdly, Armenia had a really tough history and Thank God we still keep our faith. We had thousands of murdered monks and priests during the Armenian Genocide and Soviet Era, thousands of martyrs among non-clergy people... For centuries being a part of non-christian empires Armenians had a really hard time in preserving their faith and not converting to Islam... Since our history is really long and tragic, I would finish by giving one more example: While in 405 AD our christian brothers were concerned about theological issues in the Council of Chalcedon, Armenians were fighting against Persians in the Battle of Avarayr, as a result obtaining the right to practice Christianity freely... Suggestion: watch the movie "From Ararat to Zion" about the Armenian presence in Israel, you can find it on KZfaq. .

Let me summarize by the words of St. Paul (from Letter to Corinthians): - 12:14 For the body is not one member, but many. If the foot would say, “Because I’m not the hand, I’m not part of the body,” it is not therefore not part of the body. If the ear would say, “Because I’m not the eye, I’m not part of the body,” it’s not therefore not part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the smelling be? But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just as he desired. If they were all one member, where would the body be? But now they are many members, but one body. The eye can’t tell the hand, “I have no need for you,” or again the head to the feet, “I have no need for you.” No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary. Those parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, on those we bestow more abundant honor; and our unpresentable parts have more abundant propriety; whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God composed the body together, giving more abundant honor to the inferior part, that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. When one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. Or when one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. Thus there are many members (churches, people) of body (Christ), each one with distinct mission and role... So the mission of our church was rather keeping and preserving and not spreading.
