On Wednesday, March 18, 2026, the faithful gathered at St. Sarkis Armenian Church for the fifth Lenten Vespers service. Through the meaningful themes of these weekly services, along with devotional prayers and hymns, participants were spiritually enriched and drawn closer to God, experiencing His grace in a profound and transformative way.

The pastor of the parish, Rev. Fr. Nareg, continued his reflection on the Gospel according to Mark, focusing on the account of the Transfiguration of our Lord, which follows Peter’s confession of Christ as the Messiah. In his message, Fr. Nareg emphasized that even when we believe we understand the mystery of God and His divine works, the Lord continues to reveal Himself in ways that surpass human comprehension.

He further reflected on the identity of Christ and the identity of His disciples, encouraging the faithful to live in accordance with this divine calling—following the example of those who witnessed Christ’s glory on the mountain, rather than living without spiritual direction or model.

Following the service, the faithful gathered in Pagoomian Hall for a time of reflection on the Word of God and shared fellowship.
