Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem: All services in the Church of the  Holy Sepulchre have proceeded without interruption

ArmInfo.From the outset of the present conflict and continuing to this day, all services assigned to the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem under the established Status Quo of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher have  proceeded without interruption, as noted in a statement issued by the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem.

 "The Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem addresses the faithful and  the public to provide clear information regarding recent false rumors  circulating online about the closure of the Church of the Holy  Sepulcher, the Tomb of Christ, as well as rumors pertaining to Divine  Liturgies, processions, and other sacred rites within the Church of  the Holy Sepulcher. From the outset of the present conflict and  continuing to this day, all services assigned to the Armenian  Patriarchate of Jerusalem under the established Status Quo of the  Church of the Holy Sepulcher have proceeded without interruption. The  sole exceptions are those particular rites to the Lenten season that  have been conducted with a select few monks without solemnity due to  the ongoing war. The duration of the current security situation  remains uncertain, and it is not yet possible to determine the  precise arrangements for the observances of Holy Week. 

The Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem is engaged in ongoing  communication with the other two Guardians of the Holy Sepulcher, as  well as with relevant governmental authorities. As soon as definitive  schedules are decided upon, the Patriarchate will promptly  communicate the schedule for Holy Week observances to the faithful  and the public. In these trying circumstances that afflict the Holy  Land, the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem prays for peace and  tranquility to prevail. The Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem is the  longest-continuous Christian presence in the Holy Land and will  continue to faithfully carry out its sacred mission, which appears  and proceeds uninterruptedly from the 4th century till the present  day," the statement reads.

Earlier, several media outlets reported that missile debris from an  Iranian attack landed just feet from the Church of the Holy Sepulchre  in Jerusalem. However, it was emphasized that there were no  casualties or serious damage.
