A GIFT OF FAITH THIS WINTER: INTRODUCING KNOW AND BELIEVE 

December 5, 2025


We are thrilled to share a special announcement with our GAÏDZ family worldwide! This winter, we proudly present the publication of “Know and Believe: A Brief Catechism of the Armenian Apostolic Church” authored by Bishop Vahan Hovhanessian, PhD, director of the “Karekin I Education Center” of the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadsin. This remarkable book opens a window into the rich faith, timeless teachings, and sacred liturgy of the Armenian Apostolic Church, offering readers — whether young or new to our tradition — an accessible and inspiring guide to understanding and living their faith. Through its clear question-and- answer format, Know and Believe illuminates the essence of our spiritual heritage, from the nature of God and Scripture to the sacraments and life of the Church. As supporters of GAÏDZ, your generosity helps bring resources like this to life, strengthening the faith and knowledge of Armenians around the world. The book is available online, making it easy for anyone to explore and share the beauty of our tradition. Celebrate with us this season as we continue our mission of faith, education, and cultural preservation — one book, one soul, one step at a time. Discover Know and Believe online
