Armenian Apostolic Holy Church The Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin

To proclaim the good news and distribute blessings, priests visit the homes of believers, bless the goods of the house and family members. According to the testimony of the evangelists, the ceremony of blessing the house was established by Jesus Christ, commanding his disciples to wish peace in that house when entering it. From the first century, the apostles visited the homes of believers to proclaim the good news of the Nativity and the Glorious Resurrection and distribute blessings. This spiritual and pious ceremony is continued by the Holy Apostolic Church to this day through the blessing of the house.
