A ceremony of the blessing of Holy Muron and the re-consecration of the Mother Cathedral will take place in the Mother See in autumn

On September 28 and 29, the ceremonies of the blessing of Holy Muron and the re-consecration of the Mother Church are planned. The 130-year-old cauldron of the Blessing of the Holy Muron is kept in the St. Vardan and St. John the Baptist Chapel-baptistery. It was cast at the end of the 19th century in one of the famous Moscow workshops. Gaspar Harutyunyan-Karapettoghlyan, a merchant from Nor Nakhichevan, donated the pot to the Mother See. The first muron was cooked in the pot with the blessing of Catholicos Mkrtich I Khrimyan.
