Not to be missed! The high point of Armenian religious life, this ceremony takes place only every 7 years under the illuminated dome of the cathedral of Etchmiadzine, where the Catholicos proceeds to the blessing of the precious holy oil, or Holy Chrism (muron) with a learned composition, used during baptisms. It will then be distributed in all Armenian churches around the world. If you don't have the patience to wait until 2022, the annual blessing of the water on the day of the Nativity is also a great liturgical moment.
