CONTENT DESCRIPTION
A general introduction to the religious practices of the Armenian Apostolic Church including sacraments, clerical orders, the Divine Liturgy, and the commemoration of the saints

GENERAL COMMENTS
An interesting general introduction to "religious practice" in the Armenian Apostolic Church. The first chapter concerns "Pagan Armenia," and includes a section on the pagan Armenian pantheon. Subsequent chapters: "The Entry into the Christian Community" (on the sacraments); "The Servants of the Church" (on the clergy, clerical orders, and religious hierarchy of the Armenian Church); "Consecration of a Church"; "The Mass" (The Divine Liturgy, with a broad description of the overall form and different parts of the liturgy); "Commemoration of the Saints" (Giving an overview of the Armenian Church calendar--many saints' days are given specific dates, which is not exactly how the Armenian calendar works); and "The Feasts of the Church" (covering other important feast days of the Church, including Christmas, Easter, Transfiguration, Assumption, etc.)
