Explore an Ancient Land: A Journey to an Armenian Church in Syria

[@MissNyrie]

Praying for you and your family. Thanks for showing us this beautiful place. Your mother is very proud of you and I love how you show the different sides of these ancient and often unseen places. 🕊♥️💙🧡💜☮️🥲 🙏

My condolences. I'm a guy but I can't help but cry in this video. I lost my daughter 1 hour after she was born. I empathize with you. Losing a loved one is one of the most difficult thing a person can experience. People grieve in different ways and what I did was talk to a mental health counselor and I found that helpful in navigating the tough times. Your mother knew she was loved and will be forever in your heart and memories.

Khorhin tsavagtsoutiounneress, Asdvadz hokin loussavore yev tsezi ouj yev garoghoutioun da! I'm truly sorry for your loss Patil! Based on your videos, I know how much you meant to each other. She was your biggest fan, cheerleader and always gave you her honest opinion. I'm glad that you got to spend the last couple of weeks with her, in Canada, then Armenia and Syria. She must've been so happy to re-visit those places. Losing a loved one is never easy, but I know that she would want you to be happy and keep working on what you do best - your projects/businesses (Tatik, KZbin, etc.). Always remember the good times and memories that you shared together. I have no doubt that she was proud of you and is watching over you and your loved ones. We're all here for you and will help in any way that we can. I hope that his video gains many views, so that you can make a sizeable donation to the cathedral. Asdvadz hedet!

Oh dear sweet Patil Jan. I am so very sorry for the loss of your mother. Losing a mother is so hard. It is such a deep sorrow and it feels like you will never be happy again, never smile again. It takes a long time, but one day you will surprise yourself and break out into laughter, and realize that you are okay. I am so glad you were able to take your mom back home. She was blessed to have you as her wonderful daughter. The Cathedral is absolutely beautiful. I so much enjoy all of your videos. My son had been working in Yerevan, but returned home. He recently went back with his sister, and the videos were most helpful. Hugs and love.

[@PatilToutounjian]

I’m so sorry for your loss, jan. May her soul Rest In Peace 🙏🏻😞 my grandfather Minas Kachvartanian was born in Alepo, but moved to France with his family really young until they finally moved to Brazil, where I was born. Seeing this church and its surroundings, makes me wonder if my great-grandparents used to go there, walk around this streets.. thanks for making this video, despite it being sad, it’s also beautiful ❤️

[@OurEclecticTravelAdventures]

Patil-Jan, my heart is breaking for you. We have come to feel like you’re a bit of family and so it is so very crushing. Someday when I lose my mother my heart will break into a thousand pieces and it will take me to my knees. I can only offer the warmth of hugs from us and to know that we are praying for you and your family to somehow find peace in this tragedy. I am humbled that you shared my family story fleeing the Ottoman Turks with you mother and family. It’s like a connection to you and her and I am grateful to have that. More so, I am grateful as I know my wife is, to know you and to share with you. You were kind enough to have selected me to win a contest with your amazing product line. We have struggled to select items as they are all so great! But now I know why we half off. My wife Tatiana and I would like to donate that back to you, in your mother’s name, as a gift to those in need or as you see fit, and as a tiny but heart-felt tribute to your dear mother. God be with you always. Աստված միշտ քեզ հետ

I just discovered your channel, and I wasn't too sure at first about the Armenian only theme, but it kind of fits. I'm enjoying them. It's so hard to find good content on Armenia. I never would have guessed you were from Syria, and I was so surprised by this video. I didn't know there were Armenian churches in Syria. Have you ever visited the ones in Iran? So sad you couldn't finish this series because of the circumstances. It sounded interesting. Would love to see more videos from the Middle East, even if you are only focusing on the Armenian stuff.
