  1. Congratulations indeed. I have been to San Lazzaro and the Mekhitarist priests deserve all our collective respect and appreciation. Indirectly they have even helped my siblings’ and my primary education.

    God bless them.

  2.  Thanks for the article. I am a former seminarian and a permanent son of Mekhitarian’s. Besides it’s cultural value Mekhitarians are essential for their Christian faith and its teaching. Among many important and famous Mekhitarian fathers is Father Sahak Chemchemian, the mastermind behind “Bazmavep “and my spiritual guide. God bless.

  3. Yes, great article: uplifting, positive message.
    Mekhitarists are an Armenian national treasure.

  5. 1. During the 19th century, Catholics and Protestants were considered a threat to the Armenian Church and looked down upon by some narrow-minded persons.  Thankfully, that era is now behind us.
    Excellent article by Dr. Levon Saryan.
     In the endnotes (1) there seem to be an oversight where the source is not noted. According to whom the [Armenian] Catholics and [Armenian] Protestants were looked down upon? Is this Dr. Saryan’s opinion?
    In addition, I know the [Armenian] Protestants don’t like to be referred to as “Protestants”. They prefer to be called as Evangelicals. However I do agree with Dr. Saryan that they are indeed Protestants as their church was founded by an Armenian Orthodox (Apostolic) priest who left the church “protesting” and establishing his Evangelical church.

  6. It is a great article.  Indeed the Mekhitarist Brothers in San Lazzaro are Armenian treasures along with the well known Armenian poet and historian Hayr Ghevont Alishan.
