SUMMARY:Blessing of Children Service
DESCRIPTION:SUNDAY\, FEBRUARY 16 - Each year\, the Armenian Church celebrates the Feast of the Presentation of Our Lord to the Temple\, or Dyarnuntarach\, literally meaning "the bringing forward of the Lord."  This feast always falls on February 14th\, 40 days after the Feast of the Nativity (January 6). It is a beautiful story from the infancy of Jesus\, in which he is confirmed as the Holy Messiah or Christ—the world’s long-awaited savior. \nClick here to read more about the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord. \nAccording to Biblical tradition\, it was a custom in the Armenian Church for parents to bring their newly-born babies to the Temple of the Lord to present the child to God.  In keeping of this tradition\, we invite all parents who baptized a child at St. James in 2019\, or anyone wishing to receive a blessing for their child\, to present their son/daughter to the altar for a special blessing immediately following church services. \nClick here to download a picture of the Presentation of the Lord for children to color.

SUMMARY:First Day of Great Lent
DESCRIPTION:Great Lent (Medz Bahk in Armenian) is the 40-day period of spiritual preparation that leads to Easter. It is "great" because it is the longest and most important of all the priods fo fasting and prayers that precede other church feasts. It recalls the 40 days jesus fasted and prayed in the wilderness\, away from family\, friends\, food\, and all distractions. \nLent begins the Monday following the Sunday of "Poon Paregentan" and lasts forty days to the evening of the Friday before Palm Sunday. The lenten period\, including Holy Week\, is intended to be one of self-discipline. It is a time for self-examination and self-appraisal toward renewal of lifestyle and improvement of moral and spiritual values. The practice of absitenence may include control over food intake\, giving up meat\, fish and all other animal foods\, such as dairy products and eggs. Lenten sacrifice may also include abstaining from certain pleasure\, amusements and festivities\, allowing more time for prayers\, introspection and church services. \nEach Sunday of Lent has a specific name characterizing a basic Christian truth to meditate about. The Sunday preceding Lent\, for example\, is called Poon Paregentan\, which means "good" or "happy living." It is a carnival-like time of indulgence in feasting and merrymaking. Also\, it is a reminder of the Christian teaching that man was originally created in happiness\, but marred by sin. \nClick here for more information about services at St. James during Great Lent. \nText source: 'Welcome to the Armenian Church'\, printed by the Diocese of the Armenian Church (Eastern)

SUMMARY:Great and Holy Thursday - SERVICES CLOSED TO PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:8:30 PM | Remembrance of the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ (Khavaroom) \nLIVESTREAM AVAILABLE AT WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/STJAMESWATERTOWN \nAnother episode at the Last Supper is recalled during the evening service on Holy Thursday. "The Washing of the Feet" ceremony commemorates how Christ washed the feet of His apostles\, setting an example of humility and love. The priest in turn washes the feet of twelve church members\, usually young men. \nOn Holy Thursday\, an all-night vigil is kept in memory of the last sleepless night of our Lord on earth.  This service is called Khavaroom (darkness). Before He was arrested\, Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane and endured in solitude the agony of His impending death. Six sets of laments are chanted\, each followed by a Gospel reading depicting Christ's betrayal\, imprisonment\, torture\, trial\, sentence\, and crucifixion. Twelve lit candles\, 11 white and 1 black (representing Judas)\, are extinguished in pairs.
