Fair Lawn Church makes cheoreg

Saturday, September 1, 2007

The women of St. Leon Armenian Church in Fair Lawn make cheoreg, a
traditional, slightly sweet bread.

ELIZABETH LARA / HERALD NEWS

This Armenian bread is usually made at Easter time but is being made
here for St. Leon’s annual Food Festival, to be held on Oct. 12, 13
and 14. Members and volunteers spend weeks preparing for the
festival. They will make some 5,600 breads and usually sell out every
year.

The festival will feature an array of Armenian food, a performance by
the Antranig Dance Ensemble on Saturday evening and games and
activities for children.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
