The St. Gregory Armenian Apostolic Church annual Armenian Bazaar will feature Armenian foods when it takes place Saturday, Oct. 19, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the church hall at 135 Goodwin St.
Lunch and dinner will be served featuring three kinds of grilled kebab — shish kebab (chunks of lamb), losh kebab (seasoned ground lamb and beef) and chicken kebab (marinated chunks of chicken breast) — all served with rice pilaf, salad and pita bread. For lighter fare, try lahmajun (a thin-crust Armenian meat pizza) or a vegetarian plate of seasoned cracked wheat, salad and pita bread.
A baked goods section will feature traditional Armenian breads and pastries including choerag,paklava, boerag and kadayif along with other Armenian foods such as stuffed grape leaves, cheese and spinach pie and pickled vegetables. Many favorite homemade Armenian desserts will be available also.
In addition to food, there will be Armenian cook books, scarves, handbags and jewelry for sale.
“The event is timed so that our parishioners and friends can stock up on Armenian baked goods and other items in time for the holiday season” — Thanksgiving and Christmas, said Claudia Muradian-Brubach, a church Board of Trustee member and parishioner.
She grew up in the church and spent each bazaar with her parents and siblings eating and visiting with their Armenian friends; now she enjoys spending the day with her children. “I spend a lot of time working at the bazaar like many of our other church members, but it is very gratifying knowing we can hold such an enjoyable event for the Armenian community and the community around us and be able to raise funds to continue promoting programs at the church,” she said. “This event allows the outside community to experience our Armenian culture that has been preserved for decades by picnics and bazaars at our church.”
Proceeds from the bazaar will be used for such things as programming, other events and maintenance of the church.
Admission and parking are free; there are various costs for food.
For more information, call the church office at 413-543-4763.
