Brigham Young University Press On This Day: The Armenian Church Synaxarion - March
The Yaysmawurk' is an Armenian liturgical collection of brief saints' lives arranged according to the day on which they were celebrated in the annual church calendar. The first Yaysmawurk' was translated from an existing Greek liturgical collection, the Synaxarion, "where the lives are all collected." In fact, it is common knowledge that this Greek collection was the basis for nearly all such liturgical collections of the lives of the saints throughout the early Christian world; however, it was not a mere translation. Rather, it constituted a logical culmination of a long and steady development in the Armenian Church of what scholars today like to call the "cult of the saints." This volume in the On This Day series collects the entries for March.

Brigham Young University Press On This Day: The Armenian Church Synaxarion-January
The Armenian Church Synaxarion is a collection of saints' lives organized by the day of the year on which each saint is celebrated. Part of the Armenian liturgical tradition from the turn of the first millennium, the first Armenian Church Synaxarion represented the culmination of a long and steady development of what is today called the cult of the saints. This Armenian-English edition is the first of a twelve-volume series - one for each month of the year - and is ideal for personal devotional use or as a valuable resource for anyone interested in saints.
