Exhortation of the Catholicos of All Armenians Regarding the Holy Communion

06.04.2020

In addition to the exhortation of His Holiness Karekin II, Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians; concerning the pandemic, we would like to inform our pious people that due to the current situation, a decision has been made to continue offer the Holy Week services and Divine Liturgies behind closed doors, without the presence of faithful.

In those State of Emergency conditions, the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin exhorts the faithful to end the fast on April 11, following the Candlelight Divine Liturgy, and in the following days, maintaining the rules of self-isolation with the maximum responsibility, separately visit churches and receive Holy Communion from the pastors.
