On Sunday October the 5th, a special Mass ceremony took place in the "St.Paul" church for the soul of the comrades of the "St.Paul" Women's Association. After the mass people gathered in the "k.Guilbenkian" hall where the Rev. Ashod Karakashian conveyed the message of the day in the presence of the Church vestry, the women's association and a large bunch of compatriots.

Instead of the ordinary table With the Holy Bible with the candles above, the alter of the Armenian Evangelical Church was full of samples of this season’s Anjarian harvest, during this Sunday Prayer. All kinds of vegetables and fruit were piled on the ground starting from corn, apples, grapes, tomatoes, potatoes…and etc.

The Women’s association of the Arm. Evan. Church was busy for the last two weeks getting ready for the harvest day, they have been gathering donations from Anjarian citizens and organizations, and as Rev. Raffi Mesrlian revealed that this Sunday a lot of donations beside fruit and vegetables were gathered, which was to be offered to “KAHL” the Armenian Organization for the aged and blind, which had also sent representatives to the Harvest day.

Every morning the streets of the village are full of children heading to school loaded with heavy bags, the taste of the hot summer days still in their minds, when they didn’t have to wake up so early, and had nothing to do but play all day long…but no matter the weight of their heavy bags…they all seem happy…
The 3 schools of Anjar have opened their doors for the students with the hope of an academic year full of successes.
