CALCUTTA, DECEMBER 4, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. The consecration
and anointment order of the newly built church tower cross of the
Saidabad Saint Mary Armenian church was implemented on November 30 at
the Calcutta Saint Gregory the Illuminator church. As Noyan Tapan was
informed by the Calcutta Armenian Philanthropic Academy, the Saidabad
Saint Mary Armenian church was built in 1758 with personal financial
resources of Khoja Petros, the head of the Calcutta Armenian community
of that time, famous merchant from Jugha, benefactor, in the memory
to his late parents. It is envisaged to officially hold ceremony of
re-opening of the restored church on December 5.
