Closing the Distance Between the Mundane and the Holy
Unknown preacher
On Poon Paregentan, the preacher explains the Armenian Church’s closing of the altar curtain as a biblical and spiritual sign of the distance between the mundane and the holy. Lent calls Christians to close that distance through sincere, intimate prayer, honest self-revelation before God, and the protection of what is holy from corrupting influences.
