On May 21, 2009, His Eminence Archbishop Hovnan Derderian, Primate,
presided over a Hampartzum celebration at Little Angels Art School
in Burbank, California. Principal Maggie Blikian, school staff and
students greeted the Primate in the school hall.

As part of the program, a segment from the Anoush Opera was performed
by children. The Primate in his remarks spoke about the significance
of Hampartzum as a Feast Day when Christians celebrate the Ascension
of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The Primate then presented the
students and staff with beautifully made wooden crosses from Armenia.
