Muron's Journey

After the blessing in the Mother See, the Holy Muron is sent to the dioceses and hierarchal structures of the Armenian Apostolic Church around the world. The jar of muron and the patriarchal kondak are welcomed by the Armenians of Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Syria, Argentina, Russia, and Artsakh. It is with this sacred oil that churches are anointed in different parts of the world, believers are baptized, and clergy are ordained and anointed. Only the Armenian Church has an anointing oil with this composition and meaning. Among the Christian peoples, only Armenians consider the mark of muron to be the seal of their national identity.
