By the order of Archbishop Khajag Hagopian, Prelate, Prelacy churches
across Canada will offer prayers and bless the tricolor flag on the
occasion of the 94th anniversary of the first Armenian Republic and
the 21st anniversary of the current Republic of Armenia this Sunday,
May 27. Requiem service will be offered for the souls of the fallen
heroes of Sardarabad, Bashabaran, Gharakilise, and the new martyrs
of the struggle for Artsakh.
The official definition of the colors, as stated in the Constitution
of the Republic of Armenia, is: “The Red emblematizes the Armenian
Highland, the Armenian people’s continued struggle for survival,
maintenance of the Christian faith, Armenia’s independence and
freedom. The Blue emblematizes the will of the people of Armenia to
live beneath peaceful skies. The Orange emblematizes the creative
talent and hard-working nature of the people of Armenia.”
