This week, Fr. Hrant Kevorkian, pastor of St. Sarkis Armenian Apostolic Church in Detroit, and Fr. Barouyr discuss the meaning behind “Karasoonk,” or 40-day periods, in the context of the Armenian church. They answer “why,” “how,” and “40?” They reframe “40 days” as “a long enough time,” to learn, to prepare, to cleanse, and to pause. Further, they discuss how we can incorporate “40 days” into our lives.
