Representatives from the World Council of Churches participated in the public commemorations of the Armenian Genocide 22-24 April in Yerevan, Armenia. The 10th WCC assembly in Busan, Republic of Korea, in 2013 asked member churches to observe the centenary of the Armenian genocide in appropriate ways.
A special Service of Canonization of the Victims of the Armenian Genocide, led by H.H. Karekin II, Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians, President of the WCC in the Middle East, and H.H. Aram I, Catholicos of the Holy See of Cilicia, took place at the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin on 23 April. The ceremony concluded at a symbolic hour, 19:15. Bells in all the Armenian churches rang for 100 times, symbolizing the centennial of the Armenian Genocide. A moment of silence was announced afterwards. Lord’s Prayer reading and performing the Armenian chant Surb-Surb in different corners of the world by various choirs concluded the ceremony.
