The Sunrise Service was celebrated under the leadership of the Catholicos of All Armenians

On the first Wednesday of Great Lent, the Brotherhood of the Mother See, under the leadership of His Holiness Karekin II, Catholicos of All Armenians, participated in the Sunrise Service. This mysterious ceremony, which takes place during Great Lent, has been part of the ritual life of our church since the 7th century. The hymns that sound in churches early in the morning on this day are a glorification of light and the divine Essence. The Divine Liturgy of the Sunrise Service also reminds us of the Second Coming of Christ and the Resurrection of the righteous.
