YEREVAN. – The Armenian Apostolic Church on Sunday will mark the Discovery of the Holy Cross (commemorating the finding of the True Cross) and a Holy Mass will be celebrated on that occasion, pastor of the Armenian capital Yerevan’s Nubarashen community, Fr. Nikoghos Hovhannisyan stated during a press conference on Saturday.    

He informed that the Church also celebrates the Feast of the Twelve Apostles, whose doctrine coincides with that of the Armenian Apostolic Church, and therefore the latter accepts the Apostles and their commemoration day.   

Some remains of the True Cross are kept at the Holy See of St. Etchmiadzin, spiritual center of the Armenian Apostolic Church.
