Holy mass to be served in St Cross delayed
The holy mass to be served in St Cross Church of Akhtamar Island, Lake Van, on September 12 has been postponed, since on that very day a referendum of constitutional amendments have been scheduled in Turkey.
Turkish CNNTurk reported the head of Van community talked to archbishop Aram Ateshyan and offered to delay the mass for a week. Armenian side agreed with the new terms, which was appreciated by Turkish authorities.
It’s worth reminding that after the reconstruction of 2007 Akhtamar’s St Cross has become a museum and is crossless till today.
