A Hymn to Jesus Christ the Only-Begotten Son of
God
Most appropriately, the Liturgy of the Word begins with a hymn to Jesus
Christ, the Word, Meeyadzeen Vortee yev Pant Asdvadz [Only-begotten Son
and Word of God]. The words of this ancient hymn express our conviction
that Jesus Christ is the immortal Son of God. He became man by being
born of the holy Virgin Mary, the Mother of God. He was crucified
and destroyed death in order to give us eternal life. He is one person
of the Holy Trinity [12].
Another hymn, called the Jashoo Sharagan [Midday Hymn] changes each Sunday
according to the feast or season of the church year. The hymn always
focuses on Jesus Christ and the gift of salvation that he has made available
for according us.
