The faithful are welcome to join clergy for the evening service where they will be also invited to read parts from the Prayer Book of St. Nerses the Graceful, 12th century Armenian Church Father and Catholicos. There will be Lenten food served by different committees and organisations in the Gulbenkian Hall of St. Sarkis Church. The Great Lent started in the Armenian Church on 27th February. Lent is a spiritual journey and fasting develops our self-control. According to the canons of the Armenian Church it is mandatory to fast and refrain from any food that comes from animals including fish. The faithful are supposed to fast, pray, forgive and do charity work. The fasting period will end on 15th April, after the liturgy on the eve of Holy Resurrection.       In Memoriam The Primate sends his condolences to Dickran Bedrossian, a friend and a member of our community, on the passing away of his beloved mother Hilda Bedrossian.
