TODAY’S GOSPEL READING
Matthew 12:38-45
An Evil Generation Seeks a Sign
38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees, hearing this, said to
him, Master, we are looking for a sign from you. 39 But he,
answering, said to them, An evil and false generation is looking for
a sign; and no sign will be given to it but the sign of the prophet
Jonah: 40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the
stomach of the great fish, so will the Son of man be three days and
three nights in the heart of the earth. 41 The men of Nineveh will
come up in the day of judging and give their decision against this
generation: because they were turned from their sins at the
preaching of Jonah; and now a greater than Jonah is here. 42 The
queen of the South will come up in the day of judging and give her
decision against this generation: for she came from the ends of the
earth to give ear to the wisdom of Solomon; and now a greater than
Solomon is here.
The Return of the Unclean Spirit
43 But the unclean spirit, when he is gone out of a man, goes
through dry places looking for rest, and getting it not. 44 Then he
says, I will go back into my house from which I came out; and when
he comes, he sees that there is no one in it, but that it has been
made fair and clean. 45 Then he goes and takes with him seven
other spirits worse than himself, and they go in and make it their
living-place: and the last condition of that man is worse than the
first. Even so will it be with this evil generation.

Commemoration Day of the Discovery of the Relics
of St. Gregory the Illuminator
The Commemoration Day of the discovery of the relics of St.
Gregory the Illuminator is one of the three significant feast days dedicated
to the memory of the Patron Saint of Armenia.
According to Holy Tradition, following Armenia’s conversion to
Christianity, in his final years, St. Gregory led an ascetic life in the cave of
Mane on the Mountain named Sepuh where he died in 326 A.D.
Shepherds, finding his body, buried him not recognizing the Armenian
Pontiff. One of his students, Garnik from Basen sees a vision, where
Gregory identifies the location of his relics. The relics were thereupon
transferred to the village of Tordan, in the province of Daranagh, and
buried there.
The relics of St. Gregory the Illuminator are one of our most revered
within the Armenian Church, as well as all Christian Churches. Following
their discovery, some were taken to various places for safekeeping, among
them Vagharshapat (Etchmiadzin), Byzantium, and Italy. The Right Hand
of the Saint, preserved in the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin, is one of
the most important sanctities of the Armenian Church, and is used by the
Catholicos of All Armenians during the blessing of the Holy Chrism
(Muron). To commemorate the day, Divine Liturgy is celebrated in our
Churches.
