About Vemkar
Vemkar places access to the Armenian Church within reach—anytime, anywhere.
In Armenian, a “Vemkar” is the specially anointed stone that serves as a movable altar, which can be used for ritual functions in the absence of a permanent sanctuary. As a portable tablet, it allows the sacred power of the Armenian Church to be brought to people in even the most remote places. Here you can read the daily Scripture verses, listen to Armenian spiritual music, request prayers, find events, and more.

Suffering has a way of revealing what is in the heart.
When life is easy, faith and trust can come naturally. But when loss, disappointment, illness, or an unexpected burden enters our lives, suffering tests us. It can soften the heart or harden it, draw us closer to God or push us away.
We see this clearly on Calvary. Three crosses stood side by side. Jesus was in the center, with two thieves beside Him. All three were suffering, yet the two thieves responded very differently.
One turned bitter and mocked Jesus: “Are you not the Messiah? Save yourself and us!” (Luke 23:39).
The other turned toward Him in humility and faith: “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom” (Luke 23:42).
And Jesus answered, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise” (Luke 23:43).
