Hamparian: An Easter Appeal for April 24th

This April, for the first time since 1915, the 24th falls on Easter Sunday on the Armenian Church calendar.

And so, on this sacred day, for the first time since the Armenian Genocide, Armenians will join together as Christians to celebrate the ascension of Christ after his earthly death upon the cross, and also, as Armenians—heirs of an ancient people that arose nearly a century ago from the ashes of genocide—to mark our own rebirth as a nation.
