PanARMENIAN.Net - A cross on the dome of Holy Cross Church on Akhtamar island will be set until September 19, Chairman of Van Chamber of Commerce and Industry Zahir Kandasoglu told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
According to him, the placing of cross was postponed due to the September 12 referendum. However, a cross will definitely be set prior to the liturgy.
The first liturgy in 95 years will be offered in Holy Cross Church on Akhtamar Island on September 19.
The Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin, Catholicosate of the Great House of Cilicia and Jerusalem Patriarchate of the Armenian Apostolic Church have rejected their participation in the liturgy.
