The Armenian border village of Berd will soon have a church.
The construction of Surb Gevorg (Saint Gevorg) Church was discontinued
in 2007, without any explanation. The work resumed in 2012 with the
financial assistance of Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin, a US-based
philanthropist and the community.
Priest Ter Aram Mirzoyan says the new church will become a meeting
place with God and will fill people with faith in these difficult
social conditions.
I am glad to see that people are looking forward to the competition of
the construction. The elderly people of the village say, “We wish we
could put a candle before dying.” Young people want to get married
there and christen their children,” he told A1+.
The solemn opening of the church is set for September 14.
