The Miuron (Chrism) Dare

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #380: After the GOP debate, there’s no dare to consecrate Holy Miuron. Fr. Vazken goes through the mechanics and rich symbolism of blessing the Holy Miuron – done once every 7 years in Holy Etchmiadzin – flowers, spices and oils – the binding power of the Holy Spirit. And a special Armodox addition – the alabaster box held by St. Bartholomew.
