Preface
The present translation of the Divine Liturgy of the Armenian Apostolic
Orthodox Church has been made from the 'Mystery-Book' printed in
Jerusalem in 1927 in accordance with the reading of the oldest texts under the
supervision of the late Armenian Patriarch ofJerusalem, Archbishop Eghishe
Durean (1860-1930).
The Armenian Liturgy has had several translations into English. Almost all
the previous translations are out of print. Some ofthem are incomplete, in that
they do not contain the celebrant's secret prayers. Others are printed together
with the liturgies of other churches and are intended for purposes of study by
liturgists. All of them are arranged in a manner which is confusing to the
reader, especially to those who try to use them for devotional purposes during
the performance of the Sacred Liturgy. Above all, none of them is wholly
satisfactory from the point ofview ofexactitude ofrendering. In this respect the
best among them are the works ofF. E. Brightman and ofF. Theodorus Isaac
(Ter-Issahakian).
In making the present translation great pains have been taken to render the
meaning ofthe Armenian text correctly and faithfully. We have not indulged in
free rendition. For psalms King James' Version ofthe Bible has been followed,
but only where it agrees with the Armenian Version which is a translation from
the Septuagint. Where the Authorized Version clearly differs from the
Septuagint, the Armenian reading has been preferred.
In one instance the Armenian text ofthe Liturgy has been corrected: the last
line of the Cherubicon, which is borrowed from the Greek Liturgy of St. John
Chrysostom, is devoid ofmeaning in the form in which it is ordinarily printed.
We have reconstructed the line, in conformity with the Greek original. For the
Armenian word, 'astuadsadsin ~ which is the familiar translation of the term
theotokos, we have used the phrase Mother-of-God, because ofthe wide use of
this latter title in the Western Church although theotokos could be translated
better as 'Godbearer'. In the Bidding for the Kiss ofPeace, in translating: 'and
have gone outside the doors, pray', we have followed the text of Nersessof
Lambron, by changing the place ofthe word 'and'. In the Prayer ofEpiclesis we
have rendered the word 'phokharkel~ changing, although literally it means
transposing.
The words 'hagiody' and 'hagiologize' have been coined in this translation
9
10
PREFACE
to render the, Armenian words 'srbasatsut'iwn' and srbaban linel ~ both denoting
hymns of a special kind in which God's holiness is praised by singing 'holy'
thrice, on the example of angels in heaven. The words 'economy', 'economize'
have been used as literal translations of the word 'tnorinutiwn~ 'tnorinel~ or
'tntesef' (oikonomia in Greek), referring to the acts by which the Son subjected
Himself to the laws and conditions of this world.
All matter enclosed within brackets are insertions by the translator. These insertions in the text are: (a) headings of different parts ofthe Liturgy, based on
careful analysis; (b) rubrics which are in strict accordance with ceremonial
usages prevalent in Armenian churches, at the present time, particularly in
Jerusalem, and which, however, are not found in the texts we have used; (c)
words which are explanatory of the cryptic phrases of the rubrics in the
Armenian text.
All matter in the text which is not found in the 1927 Jerusalem edition
of the 'Mystery-Book', but is found either in the 'Hours-Book'
(Zhamagirq=Breviary) or in the 'Hymn-Book' (Tagharan), both printed and
used in Jerusalem, has been enclosed in parentheses. Rubrics or textual matter
from these books have been incorporated only when we have found these to be
well established in current usage. These are considerable and in some cases
important, although apparently later additions to the Liturgy.
The preponderant majority ofthe titles ofthe different parts and items ofthe
Liturgy are well known and commonly accepted by liturgists. We have
however found necessary to give titles of our own choosing to some items in
order to make the Table of Analysis complete.
The broad outline ofthe briefcommentary on the Divine Liturgy, containing
some eucharistic doctrine is based on the text ofthe Liturgy, on historical data
and especially on the commentaries of Xosrov of Andzev (950 A.D.) and of
Nersess of Lambron (1177 A.D.). Only some of the minor points in this brief
commentary constitute our own opinions.
We are indebted to Revd Dr. V. Nersessian for his assistance with the editing
and production of this edition.

The Words of Institution
And while they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed, and broke it, and gave it
to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is my body". And he took the cup,
gave thanks, and offered it to them, saying, "Drink ofit, all ofyou; for this is my
blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many, for the remission of
sins. But 1say to you, from now on 1shall not drink again ofthe fruit ofthe vine,
until that day when 1 will drink it anew with you in my Father's kingdom".
(Matthew 26:26-29)
And while they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed, and broke it, and gave it
to them, saying, "Take, this is my body". Then he took the cup, gave thanks,
and offered it to them, and they all drank ofit; and he said to them, "This is my
blood ofthe new covenant, which is poured out for many. Truly 1 say to you, 1
will not drink anymore of the fruit of the vine, until that day when 1 will
drink it anew in the kingdom of God". (Mark 14:22-25)
And taking the cup, he gave thanks, and said, "Take this and divide it among
yourselves. 1 say to you that henceforth 1 will not drink of the fruit of the vine,
until the kingdom of God comes." And he took bread, gave thanks, broke it,
and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body, which is given for many; do this
in remembrance of me". Likewise he took the cup after the supper, and said,
"This cup is the new covenant in my blood poured out for you". (Luke
22:17-20)
The Lord Jesus, in the night in which he was betrayed, took bread, gave thanks,
broke it, and said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance
ofme". Likewise he took also the cup after supper, and said, "This cup is the
new covenant in my blood; drink it, in remembrance ofme". As often as you eat
this bread, and drink this cup, proclaim the Lord's death, until he comes. (1
Corinthians 11 :20-26)

[The Psalm of Vesting] Ps. 132
V. Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout
for joy.
R. Lord, remember David and all his meekness.
How he sware unto the Lord; and vowed unto the God of Jacob.
Surely I will not enter into the tabernacle of my house; nor go up into my
bed.
I will not give sleep to mine eyes; or slumber to mine eyelids, nor rest to my
temples, until I find the place for the temple of the Lord God of Jacob.
Lo, we heard ofthe same at Ephratah; we found it in the field ofthe cedars.
We will go into his tabernacles; we will worship at his footstool.
Arise, 0 Lord, into thy resting place; thou and the ark of thy holiness.
Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for
joy.

For thy servant David's sake, turn not away thy face from thine anointed.
The Lord has sworn in truth unto David, and has not turned from him; of
the fruit of his loins will he set upon his throne.
If thy children will keep my covenant, and my testimony that I shall teach
them.
Their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.
. For ~h~ Lord has chosen Sion, and he has desired it for his habitation, saymg: ThIs IS my rest for ever, here will I dwell, for I have pleasure therein.
I will abundantly bless her provision; and I will satisfy her poor with bread.
I will also clothe her priests with salvation; and her saints shall shout for joy.
There will I make the horn ofDavid to bud; I have ordained a lamp for mine
anointed.
His enemies will I clothe with shame; but upon himself shall my holiness
flourish.
Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit;
Now and always and unto ages of ages. Amen.

the fruit of his loins will he set upon his throne.
If thy children will keep my covenant, and my testimony that I shall teach

Their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.

I will abundantly bless her provision; and I will satisfy her poor with bread.
I will also clothe her priests with salvation; and her saints shall shout for joy.
There will I make the horn ofDavid to bud; I have ordained a lamp for mine
anointed.
His enemies will I clothe with shame; but upon himself shall my holiness

[ The Prayer of Vesting 1
. 0 Jesus Christ our Lord who art clothed with light as with a garment, thou
dldst appear upon earth in unspeakable humility and didst walk with men.
Thou hast become eternal high-priest after the order of Me1chizedek and hast
adorned thy holy church.
o Lord almighty who hast granted us to put on the same heavenly garment,
make me, thine unprofitable servant, also worthy at this hour when I make bold
to approach the same spiritual service ofthy glory, so that I may divest myselfof
all ungodliness which is a garment of defilement, and that I may be adorned
with thy light. Cast away my wickedness from me and shake me out ofmy transgressions that I may be made worthy of the light prepared by thee in the world
to come.

o mystery deep, inscrutable, without beginning, Thou that hast
decked thy supernal realm as a chamber unto the Light unapproachable and hast adorned with splendid glory the ranks ofthe fiery
spirits,
With ineffably wondrous power thou didst create Adam, the lordly
image, and didst endue him with gracious glory in the paradise of
Eden, the place of delights.
Through the passion of thy holy Only-begotten all creation has
been renewed and man has again been made immortal apparelled in
raiment indespoilable.
As a chalice showering down a rain of flre thou didst pour thyself
down upon the apostles in the holy upper-room, 0 God the Holy
Spirit, pour down also upon us thy wisdom with this garment.
Holiness becomes thine house, who didst clothe thyself with
majesty, girding thyself with the holiness ofglory. Gird thou our loins
with truth.

Almighty, beneficent, lover ofman, God ofall, maker ofthe visible and the
invisible, saviour and restorer, provider and pacifier, 0 mighty Spirit of the
Father, we entreat thee with open arms and pray with sighs and cries standing
before thine awful presence. We draw near with great trembling and utmost
fear to offer first this reasonable sacrifice to thine unsearchable power, as to the
sharer of the unalienable honour of the Father in throne, in glory and in
creation; to thee, the searcher of the hidden depth of the mysteries of the allperfect will ofthe Father ofEmmanuel, who sends thee and who is the saviour,
the life-giver and the creator of all.
Through thee was made known to us the triune personality of the one
Godhead, whereofthou also art known to be one, 0 thou who art incomprehensible! By thee and through thee did the ancient scions ofthe patriarchal family,
named seers, declare in plain language the things past and the things to come,
the things that have come to be and the things that have not come yet to be.
o Spirit ofGod, Moses proclaimed thee as the one who, moving on the surface of the waters-uncircumscribed power as thou art-and brooding with
tremendous envelopment, covering and defending the newly born under thy
wings in tender love, hast made known the mystery ofthe font. On the example
ofthe same pattern, before setting up the fluid element ofthe last curtain, thou
didst form in lordly manner, 0 mighty one, the complete natures ofall beings
and of all things out of nothing.
Through thee all these thy creatures are created for the renewing of the
resurrection, which will be in that time which is the last day ofthis life and the
first day of the land of the living. The first-born Son, being of the same
generation as thou art and of the same essence of the Father, obeyed thee also
with oneness ofwill, as he did his Father. He, being in our likeness, announced
thee as very God, equal and consubstantial with his mighty Father. He declared
blasphemy against thee to be unforgivable and he stopped the impious mouths
of those who rebel against thee, as of such that fight against God, while he
forgave blasphemy against himself, the righteous and the spotless one, finder of
all, who was betrayed for our sins and rose again for our justification.

I shall again repeat the same order ofspeech, until confidence in the upward contemplation oflight be wonderfully revealed, announcing and bringing the good news
of peace once more from on high.
We beseech and implore thee with tearful sighs from the depth ofour souls,
glorified creator, uncorruptible, uncreate, timeless, merciful Spirit, who
makest intercession for us to the Father with unutterable gJoanings, who
keepest the saints and cleansest the sinners and makest them temples of the
living and life-giving will of the Father most high.
And now, deliver us from all unclean deeds that are not agreeable to thy
dwelling, and may the shining light ofthy grace be not quenched within us, in
the perceiving eyes of our understanding; for we have learnt that thou dost
unite with us by means of prayers and of approved conduct that are sweet like
incense.
And inasmuch as one of the Trinity is offered and another accepteth the
same, being well pleased in us through the reconciling blood of his first-born,
do thou accept our supplications and prepare us to be habitations ofhonour in
all readiness to be worthy to taste ofthe heavenly Lamb and to receive, without
the punishment of damnation, this immortalizing manna of life of the new
deliverance.
And let our offence be consumed by this fire, as was that ofthe Prophet by
the live burning coal held to him with the tongs, that in all things thy compassion be proclaimed, as the loving-kindness of God the Father was proclaimed
through the Son, who brought the prodigal son into the paternal inheritance
and advanced the harlots into the heavenly kingdom of the blessed righteous.
Yea, yea, I also am one ofthem. Receive me also with them as one who is in
need ofgreat loving-kindness and who has been freed by thy grace and has been
purchased by the blood of Christ; that in all this thy Godhead may be made
known to be in all, being glorified with the Father, in equal honour, in one will
and in one praised authority.

[B5. THE PROFESSION OF THE FAITH]
Then the Nicene Creed shall be said in full:
We believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and
earth, of things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, begotten of God the
Father, only-begotten, that is of the substance of the Father.
God of God, light of light, very God of very God, begotten and not
made; of the selfsame nature of the Father, by whom all things came
into being in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible;
Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven, was
incarnate, was made man, was born perfectly of the holy virgin Mary
by the Holy Spirit:

By whom he took body, soul and mind and everything that is in
. man, truly and not in semblance.
He suffered and was crucified and was buried and rose again on the
third day and ascended into heaven with the same body and sat at the
right hand- of the Father.
He is to come with the same body and with the glory of the Father
to judge the quick and the dead; of whose kingdom there is no end.
We believe also in the Holy Spirit, the uncreate and the perfect;
who spake in the Law and in the Prophets and in the Gospels;
Who came down upon the Jordan, preached in the apostles and
dwelt in the saints.
We believe also in only one catholic and apostolic [holy] Church;
In one baptism with repentance for the remission and forgiveness
of sins;
In the resurrection ofthe dead, in the everlasting judgmentofsouls
and bodies, in the kingdom of heaven and in the life eternal.
(Thus far the articles of the faith.)

As for those who say there was a time when the Son was not or there
was a time when the Holy Spirit was not or that they came into being
out ofnothing or who say that the Son ofGod or the Holy Spirit are ofa
different substance and that they are changeable or alterable, such
the catholic and apostolic holy Church does anathematize.

[The Prayer of the Great Entrance]
None of us who are bound by carnal passions and desires is worthy to
approach thy Table or to minister to thy royal glory; for to serve thee is great
and fearful even to the heavenly hosts.
Yet through thine immeasurable goodness, thou, infinite Word of the
Father, didst become man and didst appear as our high-priest; and as the Lord
of all didst commit unto us the ministry of this priesthood and this bloodless
sacrifice.
For thou art our Lord God, who rulest over those who are of heaven and
those who are of earth; who sittest upon the cherubic throne, Lord of the
seraphim and king of Israel; who only art holy and dwellest in the saints.
I beseech thee, who alone art good and ready to hear, look upon me, thy sinful and unprofitable servant, and cleanse my soul and my mind from all the
defilements ofthe evil one; and by the power ofthy Holy Spirit enable me, who
have been endued with the grace of this priesthood, to stand before this holy
Table and to consecrate thy spotless body and thy precious blood.
Bowing down my neck unto thee, I entreat thee, turn not thy face from me
and reject me not from among thy servants; but make me worthy, thy sinful and
unworthy servant as I am, to offer these gifts unto thee.
For thou myself offerest and art offered and receivest and givest, 0 Christ
our God; and we give glory to thee, together with thine eternal Father and the
most holy and beneficent Spirit, now and always and unto ages ofages. Amen.

thine imponderable Word, thy co-creator, who, having taken the Church to be
a people unto himself, made his own those who believe in thee, and was pleased
to dwell amongst us in a ponderable nature, according to the dispensation
through the Virgin, and as the divine master-builder building a new work, he
thereby made this earth into heaven.
For he, before whom the companies of vigilant angels could not bear to
stand, being amazed at the resplendent and unapproachable light of his
divinity, even he, becoming man for our salvation, granted unto us that we
should join the heavenly ones in spiritual choirs, The Priest, aloud:
- And, in concord with the seraphim and the cherubim, we should
sing holy songs and make melodies and, boldly crying out, shout with
them and say:

[ The Remembrance]
Holy, holy, holy art thou truly and all-holy; and who is he that will presume
to contain in words the outpouring ofthine infinite loving-kindness unto us? 0
thou, who even from the very beginning didst care for him who had fallen into
sin and didst comfort him in divers manners by the prophets, by the giving of
the law, by the priesthood and by the prefigurative offering of kine.
And at the end ofthese days, tearing up the sentence ofcondemnation for all
our debts, thou didst give us thine only-begotten Son, both debtor and debt, immolation and annointed, lamb and bread of heaven, high priest and sacrifice;
for he is distributor and he himself is distributed always in our midst without
being ever consumed.
For having become man truly and without phantasm, and having .become
incarnate, through union without confusion, through the Mother-<?f-God, the
holy virgin Mary, he journeyed through all the passions of our human life
without sin and came willingly to the world-saving cross, which was the occasion of our redemption.
Taking the bread in his holy, divine, immortal, spotless and creative hands,
he blessed it, gave thanks, broke it and gave it to his chosen, holy and seated
disciples, saying: -

[c] I thank and magnify and glorify thee, 0 Lord my God, for thou hast
made me, unworthy as. I am, worthy to partake this day ofthy divine and awful
}l1ystery, of thine undefiled Body and precious Blood.
Wherefore, having these for intercessors, I beseech thee, keep me with thy
holiness in all the days and times ofmy life, so that bearing in mind thy tendermercies I may also be living with thee, who didst suffer and die and rise again
for our sake.
By the sealing ofmy soul with thy precious Blood, my Lord and God, let not
the destroyer come near to me. Cleanse me with these from all my'aead works,
o thou Almighty, who alone art without sin.
Protect my life, 0 Lord, from all temptation and turn my adversary back
from me ashamed and confounded so often as he rises against me. Protect the
goings of my mind and of my tongue and all the ways of my body.
Be thou with me always according to thine unfailing promise that
whosoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood dwells in me and I in him. Thou
didst say so, 0 thou who lovest mankind, establish the words ofthy divine and
irrevocable commandments. For thou art the God ofmercy and ofcompassion

(From The Father of Light:)
In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the
Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.
All things were made through him and without him was nothing
that was made. Through him was life and the life was the light ofmen
and the light shines in the darkness and the darkness apprehended it
not.
There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John. He came
for a witness that he might bear witness to the light, that all might
believe through him. He was not the light but he was the one to bear
witness to the light.
That was the true light, which lightens every man that is to come
into the world. He was in the world and the world was made through
him and the world knew him not.
He came unto his own and those who were his own received him
not. But. as many as received. him, to them he gave the power to
become the children of God, even to those who believe in his name;
who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of will of
man, but of God.
/ And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld his
-~glory, the glory ofthe Only-begotten from the Father, full ofgrace and
truth.

[ The Psalm of Dismissal] Ps. 34.
My soul shall make her boast in the Lord; the meek shall hear
thereof and be glad.
Magnify the· Lord with me; and let us exalt his name together.
I sought the Lord and he heard me; he delivered me out of all my
troubles.
Draw nigh unto the Lord and receive the light; and your faces shall
not be ashamed.
This poor man cried unto the Lord; and the Lord heard him and
saved him out of all his troubles.
The hosts of the angels of the Lord are round about those who fear
him; and they guard them.
o taste and see how gracious the Lord is; blessed is the man who
trusts in him.
Oh fear the Lord all who are his samts; for they who fear him lack
nothing.
The rich have become poor and have suffered hunger; but they
\ who seek the Lord shall want no manner of thing that is good.
Come children and hearken unto me; and I will teach you the fear
of the Lord.
What man is he who desires life; and loves to see his days in
goodness?
Keep thy tongue from evil; and thy lips that they speak no guile.
Eschew evil and do good; seek peace and ensue it.

The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous; and his ears are open
unto their prayers.
The countenance of the Lord is against those who do evil; to root
out the remembrance of them from the earth.
The righteous cried unto the Lord and the Lord heard them; and
delivered them out of all their troubles.
The Lord is nigh unto those who are of a contrite heart; and will
save those who are of a humble spirit.
Many are the troubles of the righteous; but the Lord delivers them
out of all.
He keeps all their bones; so that not one of them is broken.
The death of the ungodly is evil; and he who hates the righteous
shall be desolate.
Tl;1e Lord delivers the soul of his servants; and all those who put
their 'trust in him shall not be desolate.
And while the Clerks sing the Psalm, [the people approach and kiss the Book
of the Holy Gospels] and antidoron shall be distributed.
When the Psalm is ended, the Priest shall turn toward the east and shall bow
thrice before the holy Table and shall say:
Lord Jesus God, have mercy upon me.
And going into the vestry he shall take off his vestments and shall depart in
peacei

God of God, light of light, very God of very God, begotten and not
made; of the selfsame nature of the Father, by whom all things came
into being in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible;
., Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven and
was incarnate, was made man, was born perfectly of the holy virgin
Mary by the Holy Spirit;
By whom he took body, soul and mind and everything that is in
man, truly and not in semblance.
He suffered and was crucified and was buried and rose again on the
third day and ascended into heaven with the same body and sat at the
right hand of the Father.
He is to come with the same body and with the glory ofthe Father to
judge the quick and the dead; of whose kingdom there is no end.
. We believe also in the Holy Spirit, the uncreate and the perfect,
who spake in the Law and in the Prophets and in the Gospels; ,
Who came down upon the Jordan, preached in the apostles and
dwelt in the saints.
We believe also ~ only one catholic and apostolic [holy1Church;
In one baptism with repentance for the remission and forgiveness
of sins;
In the resurrection of the dead, in the everlasting judgement of
souls and bodies; in the kingdom of heaven and in the life eternal.

The voice of good tidings sang to the women.
It sounded like the call of the trumpet: "The Crucified whom ye seek is risen!
Fear not but be joyful;
Go and tell the disciples,
Fulfll what is owed by Eve;
"1 Go to Galilee and see;
And proclaim to the world."
