April 2 2010

Today is Good Friday, and some important events happened today,
after 34A.D.

In 1930 Haile Selassie was proclaimed Emperor of Ethiopia. His full
title was, "His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I, King of Kings, Lord
of Lords, Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, and Elect of God".

Before his ascession, Selassie had toured Europe with a large entourage
that included a few lions to hand out as gifts. during the long tour,
he also visited the Armenian monastery of Jerusalem. There, he adopted
40 Armenian orphans who had escaped the Armenian genocide.

He provided them with a musical education, and they came to form the
imperial brass band.

Emil Lazarian: “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
