graveyard where they bent before the grave of the inventor of the
Armenian letters and again recollected the first teacher’s lesson: "to
know wisdom and instruction, to perceive the words of understanding."

Church. There were a lot of impressions on that day: the young people
were discussing for a long time on their return way what they have
seen, listened and felt.
