The Armenian Apostolic Church will celebrate the Feast of the Apostles St. Thaddeus and St. Bartholomew on December 3 this year.
Back in 2015, according to the Pontifical Encyclical of His Holiness Karekin II, Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians, the feast was proclaimed as a Pilgrimage Day of Holy Lance (Geghard), the press service of the church reported on Tuesday.
On the feast, a Divine Liturgy will be offered in St. John the Baptist and St. Vardan Chapel-baptistery of the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin starting from 10:30am, during which the Holy Lance (Geghard) will be brought out.
The relic will remain in the chapel-baptistery for the worship of the faithful until 6pm.
