Holy Cross of Varak


The Lord reigneth;
He is clothed with majesty.

To You, O Christ
Who bestowed on the Catholic Church
This victorious, precious sign received by God,
We always send up praise in the highest.

This cross by Your will, O Christ
And by the power of the almighty Holy Spirit;
Lifted up by the assemblies of angels;
Is seen resting on Mount Varak.

Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit;
Now and for ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

Come, O ye people, let us bow down before this divine and holy sign,
Lifting up our hands unitedly in holiness
And glorifying him who dwells therein.

Note: The text to the last verse is from a 1932 translation by Rev. Fr Theodore Issahakian.
