U.S.-based photographer Robert Karapetyan displayed his photos dedicated to Easter at the "G" hall of the Mass Ritual of New York. The exhibition showcased 17 photos dedicated to the 2750th anniversary of Erebuni-Erevan.

Robert Karapetyan was the official guest and photo reporter during the 2790th anniversary celebrations in 2008 during which he heard the exciting speeches of his fellow Armenians, captured the light and shade, color and movement of Yerevan that were inframed in 35 photos.

Viewers said that the exhibition was instructive and that schoolchildren must attend not only to view it as good art, but also the history of the past, present and future of Armenians. They must also understand and perceive that "capital Yerevan is the mother that calls her children home."

During the exhibition in New York, some parts of 5th street held a march dedicated to Easter, while the children of the St. Vardan Mother Temple were screaming "Christ is risen from the dead" and proved to all mankind that "it is impossible to destroy the good".
