Father Garabed Kochakian: Visual Theology in the Armenian Church

Father Garabed Kochakian has authored several books for the Diocesan Department of Christian Education about Ecumenism in the Armenian Church and published books on Art and Iconography in the Armenian Church. As a specialist in Armenian Sacred Art and Theology, Father Garabed presently delivers lectures on Armenian Art, Illuminated manuscripts, and Armenian Ecclesiastical Architecture to various groups and parishes of the Diocese and for universities. In addition, he conducts Illuminated manuscript painting workshops for adults and children. He has painted Icons for seven of the parishes in the Eastern Diocese and continues to paint Icons and Illuminations in the Armenian tradition.​ In this episode, Father Garabed and I discussed the images, objects, and architecture of our shared Armenian Apostolic Christianity.
