VICAR ATTENDS UNVEILING OF MONUMENT Bishop Anoushavan attended and participated in the 99th Armenian Genocide Commemoration that took place in Vancouver, British Columbia, where the third Canadian Genocide monument was unveiled and consecrated on April 27 with more than 300 people attending. The unusual and creative monument designed by Matilda Aslizadeh is based on an archival fingerprint of an individual who experienced the genocide. As described by the designer, “The fingerprint pattern is magnified so that it begins to evoke a landscape, and the negative space of the pattern is cut through to create a lace-like appearance. The sculpture is raised from the ground and supported by 50 rods that line up with an invisible map of the geographical locations of the massacres.”

VICAR AT STS. VARTANANTZ CHURCH Bishop Anoushavan celebrated the Divine Liturgy and delivered the Sermon at Sts. Vartanantz Church, Ridgefield, New Jersey last Sunday, May 3. Following the Liturgy, His Grace offered his presentation that commemorates the 50th anniversary of the passing of Catholicos Zareh I (1963), and the 30th anniversary of the passing of Khoren I (1983). The Vicar has been delivering this presentation at many parishes in the United States, as well as in Canada, during 2013. Sunday’s event in New Jersey was the final presentation. Also taking part in the program were students of the Nareg Saturday School who provided stirring recitations and angelic singing. The Vicar has prepared books in Armenian and English based on his presentation about the two Catholicoi. Bishop Anoushavan acknowledged three people in the audience who helped produce the books, namely, Hourig Papazian-Sahagian who translated the Armenian into English; Iris Papazian, the editor of the English edition, and Dr. Carlo Bayrakdarian, the benefactor of both the Armenian and English editions.

| BIBLE READINGS Note: Beginning last April 28 and continuing until Pentecost (June 8), each day four Gospels are read in the following order: (1) Morning—Luke; (2) Midday—John; (3) Evening—Matthew; (4) Evening dismissal—Mark. Bible readings for Sunday, May 8, Red Sunday are: 1) Luke 9:18-36; 2) Acts 13:16-43; 1 Peter 5:1-14; John 5:19-30:12; 3) Matthew 11:25-30; 4) Mark 4:26-34. Now as an elder myself and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as one who shares in the glory to be revealed, I exhort the elders among you to tend the flock of God that is in your charge, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion but willingly, as God would have you do it—not for sordid gain but eagerly. Do not lord it over those in your charge, but be examples to the flock. And when the chief shepherd appears, you will win the crown of glory that never fades away. In the same way, you who are younger must accept the authority of the elders. And all of you must clothe yourselves with humility in your dealings with one another, for “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble." Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you. Discipline yourselves, keep alert. Like a roaring lion your adversary the devil prowls around, looking for someone to devour. Resist him, steadfast in your faith, for you know that your brothers and sisters in all the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering. And after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, support, strengthen, and establish you. To him be the power forever and ever. Amen. Through Silvanus, whom I consider a faithful brother, I have written this short letter to encourage you and to testify that this is the true grace of God. Stand fast in it. Your sister church in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you greetings; and so does my son Mark. Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ. (1 Peter 5:1014) For a listing of the coming week’s Bible readings click here.

RED SUNDAY This Sunday, May 11, is the fourth Sunday of Eastertide, known as Red Sunday (Garmir Giragi). The name does not have an ecclesiastical origin. Red is the color of blood and this may be an appropriate time to honor the memory of the early Christian martyrs. The name Red Sunday is also believed to refer to the burst of color that comes forth from the land after a barren winter. Similar to last week’s Green Sunday, it is a celebration of nature and life, symbolizing rebirth after the Resurrection of our Lord.

| NEWS FROM THE CATHOLICOSATE
| |
CONSECRATION OF BISHOPS Three clergymen were elevated to the rank of bishop on the weekend of April 26-27, in Antelias. The ordination ceremony began on Saturday evening in the Cathedral of St. Gregory the Illuminator where His Holiness Aram presided over the ritual of the examination of the faith of Very Rev. Meghrig Parikian (Prelacy of Canada), Very Rev. Krikor Chiftjian (Prelacy of Aderbadagan), and Very Rev. Magar Ashekian (Prelacy of Tehran). Following the reading of the recommendations of the Dioceses requesting their ordination and prayers, His Holiness led them to the ceremony of the confession of the true Orthodox faith. The priests confessed their faith, signed papers and vowed to remain loyal to the Catholicosate of Cilicia, to His Holiness Aram I, and to the Church and its faithful. On Sunday, His Holiness consecrated the foreheads and right hands of the three priests with Holy Muron, gave them their Episcopal rings and pronounced them Bishops. In his message, the Catholicos described the vocation of the episcopate as service, obedience, humility, and accountability to the people. At the conclusion of the two-day ordination and consecration ceremony, His Holiness received the new bishops and the pilgrims who had accompanied them.
ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOPS VISIT A delegation of German bishops, headed by Archbishop Ludwig Schick, met with His Holiness Aram I, as part of their fact-finding trip in the region concerning the situation of Christians in the Middle East. After describing the situation, His Holiness emphasized the importance of strengthening the internal unity of Christians and providing assistance to the communities to help displaced families. The Catholicos described the difficulties facing Armenians in Syria. He also spoke about the 100th anniversary commemorations of the Armenian Genocide in 2015. The visit ended with an agreement to strengthen relations between the Catholicosate of Cilicia and the Roman Catholic Church in Germany.

| Write “Right” in the Right Way You can say that something is right, accurate, or true in Armenian with the word ooghigh (ուղիղ).(*) You say ooghigh jampa (ուղիղ ճամբայ) “right road.” Note that when the word ooghigh becomes a compound word of any kind, the intermediate i is lost. This is why you have some words like: ooghghagi (ուղղակի “direct”). Example: ooghghagi gab (ուղղակի կապ) “direct link." ooghghel (ուղղել “to straighten; to direct”). Example: poghgabe ooghghel (փողկապը ուղղել) “to straighten the tie”; tebi harav ooghghel (դէպի հարաւ ուղղել) “to direct to the south.” ooghghootioon (ուղղութիւն “direction”). Example: jisht ooghghootioon (ճիշդ ուղղութիւն) “accurate direction” (ooghigh ooghghootioon does not sound right...) ooghghakrootioon (ուղղագրութիւն “orthography”). Example: hayereni ooghghakrootioon (հայերէնի ուղղագրութիւն) “Armenian orthography” Now, there is a word that makes trouble, ooghi (ուղի) “road,” which is a synonym of jampa and janabarh. Many usual words are derived from ooghi and are all related to the notion of “road” or “travel,” such as: ooghargel (ուղարկել “to send”) hooghargavorootioon (յուղարկաւորութիւն “gravesite service,” when you send the soul of the deceased to its final rest) ooghevorootioon (ուղեւորութիւն “travel”) yergatooghi (երկաթուղի “railway”) Many people tend to confuse ooghi with ooghigh, perhaps due to the closeness of meanings between “direction” and “travel,” and to write, for instance, ooghargel with two gh (ուղղարկել), which is plainly wrong. How do you avoid common spelling mistakes of this kind? Memo to yourself: if you write any Armenian word related to the English concept of right, whether the root is Anglo-Saxon (“straight”), Latin (“direct”) or Greek (“ortho”), you are dealing with ooghigh (ուղիղ). If you remember that, you will always be using two gh-s and you will always be... right.
(*) Ooghigh, of unknown origin, entered the Armenian language in the fifth century. Its synonym shidag (շիտակ), of equally unknown origin, appeared in the Low Middle Ages. Although both are utilized interchangeably, shidag has a more colloquial use and cannot be always used as a full synonym of ooghigh.

| Death of Stepanos Nazariantz
(May 9, 1879) The nineteenth century was a period of awakening for Armenians both in the Ottoman and the Russian Empire. In Russia, one of its pioneers was Stepanos Nazariantz, a journalist, teacher, and orientalist. He was born on May 27, 1812, in Tiflis (now Tbilisi), in the family of a priest. The Nersisian Lyceum, founded by the primate of the Armenian Apostolic Church in Georgia, Nerses Ashtaraketsi, was opened in 1824, and Nazariantz studied there between 1824 and 1829. He became also one of the first Armenian students of the Caucasus to study in Dorpat (now Tartu, in Estonia), which had one of the best, German-speaking universities in the Russian Empire. In Dorpat, Nazariantz first studied at the gymnasium for a year (1833-1834) and then at the schools of Medicine (1835-1836) and Philosophy (1836-1840). He wrote his doctoral dissertation on the work of Persian poet Ferdowsi, Shahnameh (Book of Kings). From 1842-1849 he was the chair of the Armenian language department at the University of Kazan. Later he moved to Moscow, where he was professor of Persian language and literature at the famous Lazarian Lyceum until his death. From 1869-1871 he was also principal of the lyceum. Influenced by European enlightenment and Russian social movements of the 1840s, Nazariantz wrote against the ruling feudal system and its ideology. He was a fervent advocate of modernization, as well as of patriotic ideas, such as the struggle against Turkish domination. He saw education as the key of Armenian progress, and supported the development of secular instruction and methods of pedagogy that were consistent and age-appropriate. He advocated the use of Modern Armenian, and perhaps his greatest achievement was the publication of the monthly Hiusisapayl (Aurora Borealis, 1858-1864), together with his younger associate Mikayel Nalbandian, which had an important role in the development of Eastern Armenian. The monthly became the voice of progressive ideas, and ran afoul of the Armenian establishment due to the discussion of sensitive issues, such as his criticism of serfdom and clerical power. Nazariantz and Nalbandian developed principles to modernize literary criticism among Armenians. Nazariantz wrote a number of books in Russian (A Brief Survey of Thirteenth Century Armenian Literature, 1844; A Survey of Armenian Literature in the Modern Period, 1846) and Armenian (Discourse on Experimental Psychology, 1853; First Spiritual Nutrition for Armenian Children, 1853; Source Book of Religion, 1854, and Review of Modern Armenian Speaking, 1857). He also wrote poetry and translated many works, including those of Swiss poet Friedrich Schiller. He passed away on May 9, 1879, in Moscow.
