As part of its Extension Program, the Seminary is opening up one of its regular graduate courses to the public this Spring. "History and Theology of the Liturgical Year" will be taught by V. Rev. Fr. Daniel Findikyan, Dean of St. Nersess and Professor of Liturgical Studies.


The 15-session course is devoted to the origins, development and theology of the church year. Fr. Findikyan will devote special attention to the feasts, fasts and saints of the Armenian Church and how they are distinctive compared to those of other churches.


Do you know why the Armenians celebrate Christmas on January 6, distinct from the rest of the Christian world?


What hidden code is buried deep within the sequence of Bible passages assigned to be read during Great Lent--only in the Armenian Church?


What is real origin of the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross? (It's not what you think...)


Classes begin on Wednesday, January 23, and will continue each Wednesday through May from 7:00-9:00PM at the Seminary in New Rochelle, NY. Classes are open to the public and are free, though donations will be gratefully accepted.
