NEWLY-WEDS WILL BE BLESSED
Support A1+!Every year on February 14, 40 days after the Christmas, the Armenian Apostolic Church celebrates the Feast of Presentation of the Lord to the Temple – Tearnendarach, which means goring “towards the Lord.”
The ceremony starts on the evening of 13 February. Fields and orchards are blessed during an evening liturgy. After the liturgy people light candles form the candle lit in the Church to set fire in their yards. The Feast of Tearnendarach is an invitation for everyone to move towards the Lord.
Under the auspices of the Catholicos of All Armenians Tearnendarach has been announced the day of blessing the newly-weds.
