Message of the Catholicos of All Armenians on the occasion of the Day of Good Tidings

On the occasion of the Day of Good Tidings of the Holy Virgin, from the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin we bring Our Blessing to all Armenians and congratulate all women and ladies on Motherhood and Beauty Day.
These days when peace has been disturbed as a result of the military operations unleashed on the borders of Artsakh, the pious prayers of our Holy Fathers to the Holy Virgin are said with more enthusiasm so that ��?wars are silenced, the attacks of the enemy cease, and love and justice are established on the land’ (Mass Book).
Throughout the centuries, our noble sons, including scientists, educators, soldiers, servicemen, clergymen and builders have been educated with the love and care of our mothers. They have built our country, maintained peace on the borders of our country and have defended our God-given right to live freely.
The danger of a war facing the homeland is making the mission of our mothers to shape brave Armenian soldiers more powerful and is revealing their courage and spirit to not be depressed when facing difficulties.
Before the Holy Altar of Holy Etchmiadzin we say a prayer to God for the Lord to grant peace to our country and people and grant many years of joy and health to our mothers and sisters with the intercession of the Holy Virgin.
