Armenian Orthodoxy of Constantinople

The Armenian Patriarchate of Constantinople is today one of the Patriarchates of the Armenian Apostolic Orthodox Church, but within living memory it exerted a very significant political role, and today still exercises a spiritual authority, which earns it considerable respect among other Orthodox churches, both Chacedonian and non-Chalcedonian. Despite a huge diminution in the number of its faithful, it is still the largest Christian community in Constantinople. On March 10, 1998 - His beatitude Archbishop Karekin II Patriarch of Constantinople passed away, and was succeeded by Archbishop Mesrob Mutafyan.The Patriarchate of Constantinople plays a highly significant role in the life of the world-wide Armenian community and runs as an autonomous Patriarchate in teh Armenian Church body, and also retains its historic prestige for maintaining the rich liturgical tradition of the see of Constantinople. Patriarch Mesrob Mutafyan serves as one of the vice-presidents of the Holy Synod of Armenian Orthodox bishops. It maintains close relations to the Etchmiadzon and Cilician Catholicates and the Jerusalem Patriarchate, it cherishes its heritage of scholarship and, in the absence of its own seminary, encourages ordinants and clergy to pursue further studies in Etchmiadzin, Jerusalem, or in foreign universities.

god bless the church that kept the word of god alive and did not hide it from the public, the church that saved the spirituality of Christianity from Catholicism and made a strong effect on the ancient map, held throughout the ages and still in existence, gods miracles are not invisible if you do not look with blind faith.

May God bless us all Orthodox, may we continue to keep our vigilence in defending the true faith and may the rest of our brother come back where they belong, in the faith that was handed down from our Lord and Master Jesus Christ to the Apostles to us. For we have been saved, we are continuing to be saved, and we will be saved in Christ. Kyrieleyson

[@witheddie]

5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, And my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips. 6 When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches.

[@Jame243]

Excellent Video! I love the Armenians and the Armenian Church, their language and culture. I see that it combines elements both of the Eastern and Western Tradition together with its own beautiful and impressive original Armenian elements. I love the Choral music that I hear also. Thank you for Video alexanianEVN.

[@witheddie]

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.

[@witheddie]

Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Laud Him, all you peoples! For His merciful kindness is great toward us, And the truth of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord!

[@teknontoutheou]

What's the text to the hymn being sung? It's beautiful.

[@witheddie]

7 Because You have been my help, Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice. 8 My soul follows close behind You; Your right hand upholds me. 9 But those who seek my life, to destroy it, Shall go into the lower parts of the earth. 10 They shall fall by the sword; They shall be a portion for jackals. 11 But the king shall rejoice in God; Everyone who swears by Him shall glory; But the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.

@TheMistAnchorite The Christ in you humbles me brother! I'm Coptic btw. Not that it's relanvent. God bless you and keep you close to Him!

[@witheddie]

1 Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night. 3 He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.

[@witheddie]

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me

[@dollaresque]

@homocorpus Well, both churches believe that Christ is dual in nature - god-human, but the way the natures are mixed is at question. On one side, we have divine and human mixed like olive oil and water, separate and distinct. On the other side, the two are mixed like blood (or wine) and water, mixed throughout. I can't even recall which side believes what, but it is in fact an amusing though interesting distinction.

[@xpictianoc]

I love Armenian church! :)

[@alainmnatsakanyan1120]

Thank you

[@GhinainanEvNoti]

@TheMistAnchorite God bless you and keep your fiery zeal but to a better and greater cause in Christ Jesus for our Orthodox Church. Lord have mercy on us, for we have all sinned!

[@salimsirin7905]

Believe the Allah(*god), in the Qur'an, the last prophet Muhammad, from 114 suras, even 1 sura arabic, which no one can write ... Pastors changed the bibles...Qur'an is biggest miracle,bibles are pastors words,bibles are not miracle... İsa (*Jesus) is a prophet of Allah...Jesus is not the son of God (He who believes he is his son goes to hell forever) Allah's no son has no wife,Allah is nothing like,there is no god other than him....

[@religionorthodox]

@svsnayel Please,tell me more-why We Bulgarian Orthodox differ from you as I cannot see any difference?

[@svsnayel]

You may read more on all of this, if you try to find articles on ORIENTAL ORTHODOX CHURCHES.

[@johnpaulsegundo]

@veljkosrb : amen

[@mcoteg]

is this song from an album? if so, anyone know?

[@svsnayel]

So this makes that confusion in the minds of the followers of the Chalcedonic Church. They think that that nature is only divine, but we say it is not just divine, or just human, but composite. THe Lord Jesus is God-man.

[@witheddie]

4 The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away. 5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish

[@iDenmark]

Constantinople(Not Istanbul)

[@religionorthodox]

@svsnayel But still I find Armenian Chruch so pure...

[@svsnayel]

Hmmm... this two families of churches- Oriental and Eastern Orthodox, are not in unity today. If it were possible to understand each other, then we would be in unity, while this is not so... So only one thing remains- to pray.

[@JudithSanchez-ht6jn]

svsnayel God is not a god from division. The church is One and Christ is one with father.

[@areopolitis1]

I think that the armenian patriarchate in Constantinupolis is a result of the turkish occupation of this greek orthodox city .Of course before 1453 there is not an armenian patriarchate in Constantinupolis.

[@witheddie]

From your talk I could tell that you confess different faith. So who is your god(s) now? are you into vain philosophy? Are you a universalist? what is your story?

[@witheddie]

so tell me about your faith?

[@religionorthodox]

@MegaRadoslav I am also dissapointed... Also-armeninans are monophisists-they believe Christ was not God in flesh but only God. But in the Bible is mentioned he suffered on the cross,if he is God,he cannot suffer. Despite these facts I like Armenians very much as well as their culture.

[@religionorthodox]

@svsnayel I have read a lot,but still...

[@witheddie]

Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.

you are lire Armenian Orthodox church is the Best!& they have Great Catholicos & alot of Saints & they try to bulding new Armenia again & they will becoz Jesus want the best to this Holy Country Armenia!

[@witheddie]

Don't want everybody to be a better Christian? what is your believe?

[@salimsirin7905]

[@svsnayel]

That is an old lie about the faith of the Armenian Church. The Armenians believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is a perfect man and a perfect God at the same time, He is the Incarnate God, and that incarnate God died on the Cross, not the Divinity alone, as God without flesh cannot die.

[@witheddie]

Don't you want everybody to be a better Chrisitians?

[@afar86293]

[@witheddie]

Do you realize what are saying? you are saying that you (insidebetween) will help Armenians in need...that you won't fornicate... that you don't care about money...that you care about others souls... that you believe in God... Do you?

[@ΧρυσοβαλάντηςΠαππάς]

The Armenian Church is not an Orthodox (orthin Doxa=The Pure Dogma) It is a monophysite Church..

[@TheCopticParabolanos]

***** You're an ignoramus

[@JudithSanchez-ht6jn]

Χρυσοβαλάντης Παππάς let go brother things like is destroying the church. Si important hundred years have no meaning the important is Christ the others things are the nothing. Embrace the past and forward the future.

You are very wrong regarding the armenuan faith.Read about the armenian church and you'll see how wrong you are.God bless.
