Message of His Holiness Karekin II, Catholicos of All Armenians, on the Occasion of International Women's Day
08.03.2025
From the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin, we extend our Patriarchal blessings on this Women’s Day to all women and maidens in the homeland and the diaspora.
On this festive day, We express our heartfelt gratitude and extend warm wishes to our mothers, sisters, and daughters. Through their unwavering devotion, care, and efforts, they nurture the well-being of our families and uphold our spiritual values and traditions. Blessed by God with countless gifts and talents, they make an irreplaceable contribution to the education of future generations and play an essential role in all spheres of life, both for our people and our Church.
Today, when our country and people face the greatest of challenges, we, with fatherly care, advise: with the same zeal and selflessness nurture and educate the children of our nation, instilling in their hearts the spirit of our sacred values and traditions, sowing love and devotion to God, to the homeland, and the Holy Church.
We lift prayers to our Savior, the Lord, that He may bless you, beloved women and maidens, strengthen and uphold your faith and love for the homeland, grant you happiness in your personal lives, and bestow you new blessings and successes in all your endeavors. May peace and prosperity be with you and your families, our homeland, and all our people worldwide.
May the love, mercy, and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you and us all, forever. Amen.
