His Holiness Aram I Visits the Birds’ Nest

Since his consecration as Catholicos, His Holiness Aram I has visited the orphans, the aged and the needy living in the institutions of the Catholicosate on the eve of the major feasts of the Armenian Church. Through his visits and personal contacts, he lives the diakonia (service to the needy) of the ancient church and sets an example for the young clergy.

 

The Catholicos first visited Birds’ Nest, the children’s home, where he was met by the Kayanian Sisters, the members of the Board, the director and the school. After a brief meeting with them, he joined the children and participated in their programme. At the end of the children’s presentations, Santa Claus arrived and distributed special gifts to the children. After sharing the joy of the children as they opened their gifts, His Holiness blessed them and returned to Antelias.
