Armenia marks commemoration day of All Saints

Today Armenian Apostolic Church marks the commemoration day of All
Saints: feast of All Saints – the old and the new, the known and the
unknown. By this feast the Armenian Apostolic Church commemorates the
memory of all those saints, whose names are not included in the Church
Calendar, but whose names are registered in the sacred book of the
Heavenly Kingdom.

Many people have been subjected to severe torments and have been
martyred during the wars for the sake of faith. Unfortunately, we do
not know their names. So the Church has established this feast in the
Church Calendar in order to commemorate their memory. They are persons
who shed their blood for the sake of Christ and His Church.
