Traditional pilgrimage

On the bright holy Easter morning, on the Yerevan-Ashtarak highway, you would notice a group of pedestrians, who set off for the long way. They were not just pedestrians, but pilgrims from Northern University, who took the direction of St. Gevorik Monastry in Mughni, to attend the liturgy. It is already several years, that the University’s Economics and Management Chair organizes pilgrimage on Jesus resurrection day out of Yerevan, visiting one of the Armenian churches. Working staff from other Chairs and administrative departments of the university are also joining the event. Everyone is returning deeply impressed, with exhausted legs, but with a stronger spirit. Look at the pictures and you will be convinced of that.
