Armenian Church to participate in the restoration of Jesus’ tomb in Jerusalem

The Armenian Church has expressed willingness to contribute to the restoration of the ancient tomb in Jerusalem where Jesus was buried.

The issue was discussed at today’s sitting of the Supreme Religious Council held at the Mother See of holy Etchmiadzin.

Underlining the importance of Jerusalem in the national life and the responsibility of the Armenian Church in the maintenance of the holy site, the Supreme Religious Council committed itself to supporting the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem and raise the necessary funds through its Dioceses around the world.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
