The Divine Liturgy will start at 7.00 pm at St. Yeghiche Armenian Church, London. St. Vartan and his army of 66,000 people fought for their faith and also for their identity. The Army consisted not only professional solders but also of many volunteers. Vartanants is the name day of many Armenian and men and women. It is the name day also of the Catholicos of All Armenians His Holiness KAREKIN II.   Before going to battle for their faith in 451, on 26th May, St. Vartan and his solders took Holy Communion and were blessed by the Catholicos Hovsep.   Today many Armenian men and women, especially in the diaspora organisations serve the Armenian communities and carries out a God pleasing mission to preserve Armenian culture, identity and also support the Church in her mission.   This is a day also to respect all the volunteers who serve their community. At the end of the service there will be a special prayer for longevity of the Pontiff of the Armenian Church as well as blessings for all the volunteers that serve in the community organisations.     Pilgrimage to Jerusalem, May 2017   Please join us on our pilgrimage to the Holy Land, 2nd - 9th May 2017.  Details of the itinerary can be viewed by clicking on the image (left).   The cost is £1250 per person for a twin room, the single room supplement is £300.  A deposit of £500 is payable by 15th February.   Flight details: BA167 2nd May from Heathrow at 16:45 arrives Tel Aviv 23:35 BA166 9th May from Tel Aviv at 07:45 arrives Heathrow 11:10     Link to further information     The Primate's Office c/o The Armenian Vicarage Iverna Gardens London W8 6TP   0208 127 8364   primatesoffice@armeniandiocese.org.uk   Website : armeniandiocese.org.uk Facebook : Հայոց Առաջնորդարան     This email was sent to tr8seta@gmail.com You received this email because you are registered with the Armenian Diocese of the UK and Ireland to receive our newsletters   Unsubscribe here     © 2016 Armenian Diocese of the UK and Ireland
