Immerse yourself in the mesmerizing allure of Armenian monasteries, showcased through breathtaking photographs. Some of these monasteries, dating back to the 4th century in Artsakh, represent among the earliest Christian establishments, serving as hubs for education where art and science thrived. These monuments of faith endure as timeless structures, free from crowds, embracing the winds, and shrouded in silence.

Beyond honoring our opulent architectural legacy, this captivating evening presents an opportunity to gain insights from Dr. Kim Hekimian of Columbia University. She will share details about our collaboration with the Fund for Armenian Relief, focusing on the unique needs of pregnant women, infants, and young refugees from Artsakh. St. Leon pledges to match every dollar contributed by parishioners and friends until the end of January, up to $50,000. The proceeds from the exhibition will be dedicated to supporting this cause.

The event is free of charge, featuring a wine reception with warm hospitality. For more information, please reach out to ara@edrcorp.net or call 917-837-1297. Advance registration is appreciated.
