Bildene over er fra en kirke de armensk-katolske disponerer i Roma, San Nicola da Tolentino. John Sonnen skriver om kirken og om diakonvielsen denne dagen: If you’ve been blessed with the grace of a liturgical interest then a visit to Rome’s (Catholic) Armenican rite parish is a must. This parish is located in the fashionable Via Veneto neighborhood (the Church of San Nicola da Tolentino). Armenican Catholics have had this Rome parish as their own since the 1880s when PopeLeo XIII gave them the property. Armenian seminarians live in the attached collegio. In the photos is a diaconal ordination from Sunday. The ordaining prelate was His Beatitude Nerses Bedros XIX, the Catholic Patriarch of Armenians. Needless to say, the rite was breathtaking.
Sonnen skriver mer her om kirken, om presteseminaret og om diakonvielsen.
Jeg leste også om den armensk-katolske liturgien (på engelsk) i dag tidlig, svært interessant, og likere den latinske liturgien enn jeg hadde regna med – SE HER.
Praktfulle bilder, og Messe med et fint gammelt ritus!
