LA CRESCENTA—Western Prelate Archbishop Moushegh Mardirossian, the Religious and Executive Councils, and Ladies Auxiliary announced that Anahid Baghdadlian Ohanesian will host the Prelate’s New Year and Christmas Dinner, which will take place on Saturday, January 6 at Holy Cross Cathedral’s “Bagramian” Hall in Montebello.

The highly anticipated and beloved event, which has been held annually for over twenty years, unites the Prelacy family and community under one roof to collectively celebrate the Birth and Theophany of our Lord Jesus Christ and exchange well wishes for the New Year.

The Prelate blessed and commended Ohanesian for her continued generosity and most valuable support. Ohanesian, along with her late husband Gaidzag, has previously hosted the dinner, and has contributed greatly to the various endeavors of the Prelacy and the Catholicosate of the Holy See of Cilicia. In appreciation for their support and solidarity, Gaidzag was honored with the Western Prelacy “St. Dertad” medal and Anahid with the “St. Ashkhen” medal.

“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
