His
Holiness Aram I, Catholicos of the Great House of Cilicia, has deemed 2013 the
“Year of the Mother of the Armenian Family” and asked Armenians throughout the
world to organize activities in order to reflect on and to explore the central
role of mothers in the past and present of our nation.
With
this idea in mind, the Armenian National Education Committee (ANEC) sponsored a
symposium, “Armenian Women as Mothers and Artists,” to offer some insights into
the richness, depth, and breadth of the issue. The symposium was held at the
Pashalian Hall of St. Illuminator’s Armenian Cathedral in New York on Saturday,
October 5, 2013 in the afternoon.
