Product Description

Excerpt from The Divine Ordinances According to the Armenian Ritual: Being a Translation From the Original in the Armenian Language; To Which Is Added, a Few Explanatory Paragraphs

And now making use' of that first edition, I translate, word for word, the prayers of the Sacra ment of Baptism and Confirmation, as. Well as those of the ceremony which is to be performed by the mother of the Child.

To these I have an idea to join some notices of the administration of other Sacraments, which I think would not be without interest to those who wish to know something in regard to the eastern rites.
