“Varaga Holy Cross holiday is the day when the relic of the cross of the Lord returns home, the home where it lived 400 years. This is an invaluable and cosmic lesson.. ”

On the eve of the holiday, the relic of the cross of the Lord left Mother See to New Varagavanq, where a night vigil was held. Then, on Sunday, the day of the New Varagavanq vow, a Holy Liturgy was served by Bishop Bagrat, the leader of Tavush Diocese, at the end of which the Holy Mass was performed, and the four origins of the world were blessed.

In the fourth century, Saint Hripsime brought the relic of the cross of the Lord to Armenia, and for about 17 centuries, the relic was with our people. Having moved from Varagavanq in historical Armenia, the relic has been kept in New Varagavanq for 400 years, making it its next resting place and home.

In Noyemberyan, the troupe of the “Metro” theatre presented the play “Living dialogue” based on the stories of Vardan Amalyan, who died in the 44-day war. The stories, written by Vardan at the age of 11-13, were not just staged but were told from the stage, and Vardan’s messages were conveyed to the audience.

According to director Edgar Mehrabyan, “The title of the performance was not chosen by chance because every word brings life; whether we take it for an hour or ten days or our whole life, it is probably our personal problem.”

The members of the theater troupe admit that they always feel Vardan’s presence and spiritual power during the performances.

The actress Evelina Stepanyan says, “The performance is a call to live, to continue living and to live in a completely different way, after the war. ”

During the performance, parallel to the stories, the subject of the war and the feelings of that time are referred to.
