Water and Spirit: Baptism in the Armenian Church

The Eastern Diocese is excited to announce the release of the latest video in its "Sacred Mysteries" series, titled Water and Spirit: Baptism in the Armenian Church.

This beautifully crafted video offers a profound look into the Armenian Church's ancient rite of Holy Baptism, capturing the essential elements of the Sacrament of Baptism and Chrismation.

General viewers as well as families anticipating the baptism of a child will witness the depth and beauty of Baptism, and learn the meaning it holds for one's entire life.

We extend heartfelt gratitude to the generous sponsors of this project, Elie and Ella Akilian, as well as the parish community of St. Sarkis Church of Dallas, Texas, their pastor Fr. Ghevond Ajamian, and the parish council. Our on-location filming in the beautiful St. Sarkis sanctuary greatly benefited from their gracious support and warm hospitality.

Special thanks are also due to the participants during the filming, who brought this production to life.

Watch this impactful video and share it with others—especially with young families considering baptism for their children. May it serve to inspire and enrich all who embrace this holy sacrament. Watch, reflect, and share widely!

Water and Spirit: Baptism in the Armenian Church is a production of the Ministries Department of the Eastern Diocese of the Armenian Church of America.
