Happy Easter from All of Us at FAR!

Քրիստոս հարյավ ի մեռելոց. Օրհնյալ է Հարությունը Քրիստոսի։

Christ is Risen! Blessed is the Resurrection of Christ!

With these simple yet profound words, the angels proclaimed that Jesus is alive, that death does not have the final word, and that a new beginning is possible.

This painting by Tigran Matulyan - “Meeting of Angels” - reminds us of rebirth: a new life filled with warmth and color. Much like Easter, which radiates the energy of spring, of blooming, of light, and symbolizes a time for renewal and fresh beginnings.

We have endured and overcome profound tragedies - from the Artsakh war to the forced displacement of over 100,000 of our brothers and sisters. The pain and trauma of those days still linger in many hearts.

Yet, with unwavering commitment, we have embraced the mission of empowering the present and building a hopeful future for our Artsakhtsi brothers and sisters - and for all Armenians. We offer the opportunity for a new beginning, a new life.

And we couldn’t have done any of it without you - our devoted community of supporters and benefactors.

FAR is you. FAR is us!

Today is Good Friday - a solemn day in Christian tradition. But it is not a day of despair; it is a day of hope, preparing the way for the joy of Easter Sunday.

With this message of hope and new life, we wish you and your loved ones a blessed and joyful Easter. Just as the earth awakens in spring, may our hearts awaken to the promise of the Resurrection.

Happy Easter from all of us at FAR!
