Armenian Apostolic Holy Church The Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin

From the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin we convey our Patriarchal blessings and congratulations to all our people, especially to all the ladies, young ladies and women waiting for the joy of motherhood, on the occasion of the soul-restoring feast of the Annunciation of the Holy Virgin Mary.

The Holy Mother of God, with her virtuous image, gentleness and love towards God, is a good example for all mothers and young women who bring commendable efforts and dedication to the well-being of their families and the progressive life of our people.

Beloved ones, in these days accompanied by trials, when in our national expectations we have eternal expectation of the Lord's help, the pacifying message of the angel addressed to the Holy Virgin sounds for you as well. "God is with you." Keep your loyalty to God strong in your hearts, stay strong in faith, hope and love, so that relying on God and supporting each other, you can face all challenges and lead your life to the upswing.

Dear mothers and sisters, in front of the Holy Altar of the Mother Cathedral, we pray that through the intercession of the Holy Mother of God, the Almighty God will keep you and your family members under His blessing and care, so that despair, pain and sadness do not find a place in your hearts. May the Lord, with His merciful love, grant a peaceful and prosperous life to our people, in our homeland and in the diaspora world.
