The training course for priests has aroused interest among priests and professors


Every month, about 25 priests from the dioceses of Armenia and the Diaspora come to the Mother See for three weeks, live in the monastery, participate in courses and various ceremonies. About 20 secular and spiritual lecturers are involved in the training program. It is a good opportunity for priests to communicate with each other, share experience, knowledge and problems.

During the Great Lent, from Monday to Friday, the Sunrise Service is held in early morning


That hour has the sacrament of Christ's Resurrection, because after the Resurrection, Jesus appeared to his disciples at that very hour. It is also at sunrise that the women bearing ointment visited the Lord's tomb and saw that He had risen. The hymns sung during the liturgy are dedicated to light, sunrise, and Christ, who symbolizes the path of life.
