The present volume introduces the development of Canonizationin the Armenian Church Tradition and professes strongly to canonize the Armenian Martyrs on the eve of the 100th Anniversary of 1915 Genocide Commemoration. How will this joint canonization be conveyed withregards to the massive number of genocide victims? Willit be done through individualization or by the followingdecree: "All those who died for their Christian faith." It isimportant for the Armenian Church to take the latterapproach, for it is only God who knows, as He is the onewho sanctifies either a person or a collective, for theirsacrifice and testimony of faith.Of course, it would have been better if our Churchhad, many years ago, taken the necessary steps of enlighteningour people as to why we needed to sanctify our martyrs, why their canonization is valuable to usnow and to future generations as well.Let this booklet be a small offering in fulfilling whatthis prospect essentially lacks.
