Feast of the Holy Cross at the Zoravor Surb Astvatsatsin Church in Apna

On September 13—the Feast of the Holy Cross—the Divine Liturgy was celebrated at the Zoravor Holy Mother of God Church in the village of Apna (Aragatsotn Diocese) by Rev. Fr. Maghakia Gevorgyan. The faithful venerated a relic of the Holy Cross of Jesus Christ, brought from the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin. The day also marked the anniversary of the church's consecration; the sanctuary had been consecrated five years earlier by the Diocesan Primate, Bishop Mkrtich Proshyan.
