The Only-begotten Son has descended [ Edj ( to descend) -miadsin ( Only begotten son) ]And the light of glory was about him.
Voices resounded in the depths of Hades,
The patriarch Gregory saw the great light;
And joyfully declared the same to the believing king.
Come, let us build the holy sanctuary of the light, for in him did light shone forth unto us
in the land of Armenia.
In 2001 the Christian world marked the 1700th anniversary of Armenian Christianity,a notable milestone in the history of the Christian Church. To mark the occasion I organised for the British library an international exhibition of Armenian Christian art called : Treasures from the Ark: 1700 years of Armenian Christian Art (2001).
