Today a wedding ceremony was held in Hakobavank by the prior Hovhannes priest Hovhannisyan. Due to the lack of fuel in Artsakh, the groom lifted the bride on his arms to St. Hakobavank, and the Sunday school students of Kolatak village waiting in the courtyard of the monastery welcomed the heroes of the day with applause.

“Despite the severe consequences caused by the siege of Atsakh, the people of Artsakh continue to resist the difficulties with their special endurance, form new families and build Artsakh,” the Diocese of Artsakh says. The material is presented on the website of the Diocese.
