On the afternoon of Friday, January 4, 2019, the Prelacy was abuzz with Christmas cheer as Sunday School students from the Crescenta Valley Church visited to sing Christmas carols to H.E. Archbishop Moushegh Mardirossian, Prelate. The students were accompanied by Sunday School Director Mrs. Talin Naccashian and parents, while His Eminence was joined by Archpriest Fr. Nareg Pehlivanian, Rev. Fr. Ghevont Kirazian, and Rev. Fr. Movses Shannakian.
The students, dressed in festive garb, gathered around the Christmas tree in the Prelate’s office where they sang traditional Christmas hymns and carols. The Prelate blessed and commended the director, parents, and students, wished them a healthy and happy New Year and a merry Christmas, and gifted mementos.
After their departure from the Prelacy the students continued their caroling, visiting nearly twenty Armenian homes in the area.
