On Thursday, May 30, 2013, the Prelate welcomed the visit of Mr. Arakel Yapoujian and Mr. Yeznig Kazanjian. The guests had come to the Prelacy to present a miniature replica of a painting of H.H. Catholicos Aram I by Mr. Yapoujian.
Mr. Yapoujian is donating the portrait, a 4 x 5 foot oil painting, to His Holiness on the 18th anniversary of his enthronement and consecration as Catholicos.
The Prelate commended Mr. Yapoujian’s initiative to prepare and donate the artwork on the upcoming anniversary of His Holiness.
