Archbishop Arakel Karamyan, leader of the diocese of Kotayk, recently
reanointed the St. Karapet church in the village of Akunk.

On the occasion, the Holy Father passed the blessings and
congratulations of Catholicos Garegin II to the people. In Bishop
Arakel’s words, the renovation of the church was not the end purpose,
but instead was the spiritual fulfillment of the people. "With
our daily presence, and our prayers, we give this beautiful stone
structure life and breath, and make this stone temple a spiritual
temple," he said.

Vladimir Gasparyan, head of the Armenian Military Police and the
sponsor of the church’s renovation, along with provincial and
government representatives, was present at the day’s events.
