Blessing of the Vineyards & Grapes and Fundraiser Dinner
Join us on August 16 in Hermann, Missouri, for the Blessing of the Vineyards & Grapes, a traditional Armenian ceremony that marks the harvest season. This event holds deep cultural and religious significance, celebrating the feast of Assumption of the Holy Mother of God, with a special blessing performed to give thanks and celebrate abundance. Whether you have Armenian roots or just want to learn more about the tradition, all are welcome to take part in this meaningful gathering.
Following the Blessing of the Vineyards & Grapes Ceremony, a ticketed fundraiser dinner will be held at the Rotunda.
All the proceeds from the event will go to support the St. Louis area Armenian Apostolic Churches: St. Gregory the Illuminator Armenian Apostolic Church in Granite City, Illinois, and Holy Virgin Mary & Shoghagat Armenian Church in Belleville, Illinois.
