MYRADOON
Our resident’s life become more interesting and more colorful when they participate in cultural events. In the beginning of January, theaters donated us tickets for children and adult performances. Our residents went to the Puppet Theather for the children. Mid January we took them to a performance organized by another church. Another evening, we took them to Yerevan City tour, and they enjoyed Yerevan by night. Christmas evening, they went to Ejmiatsin Mother Cathedral. After holy liturgy, the Christmas dinner was waiting for them in our center!

We continue our Bible Study classes, with the leadership of Armenian Apostolic church priest. In January Father Partev did the Christmas celebration, the water Blessing (Jrorhneq) and blessed the whole center. All our residents plus people from neighboring villages attended the ceremony. He also blessed our food and then we celebrated the birth of Jesus and his Baptism.
Two of our little residents continuously cried every Sunday to participate in the communion. Due to them not being Baptized, they were not allowed to do so. We organized a baptism specially for them with our Priest. They both got baptized in St Mariam (Astvatsatin) church.
now they both participate in the liturgy ceremony at the alter with Ter Partev and serve our church as real Christians.
In the center of the dinning room a beautiful table with fruits and desserts was waiting for them to celebrate the event!
May the love and grace of God always be with our children.
