The Reading of the Scriptures: We are Nourished by the Word of God
 
The focus of the Liturgy of the Word is the public reading of passages from the Old and New Testaments.  In the Armenian Church every Sunday specific Bible passages are read.  They are selected according to an ancient system that has its roots in fourth-century Jerusalem, the cradle of the Church.  The Scripture passages should be read by ordained tubeerk, "readers."
