ETCHMIADZIN. – The Catholicos of All Armenians, Karekin II, issued a message in connection with the International Women’s Day. 

“It is a joy today to praise our dear mothers, sisters and daughters, and to appreciate their devoted efforts—which have numerous accomplishments—in our daily, national and spiritual lives.  

With their contribution, zeal and care, women attest to the biblical words that the grace of a good and wise woman is more than gold.    

We pray to God that he may bless and protect all women, strengthen their faith, endow them with spiritual virtues, and grant them a peaceful and secure family life, continuous happiness, and ever new success,” the Catholicos’ message specifically runs.
