World-renowned Armenian-American reality TV star Kim Kardashian, Armenian-American pop-singer Cher (Cherilyn Sarkisian) and Armenian-American film producer Eric Esrailian are calling on their social media followers to buy jewelry with Armenian inscriptions, thus, by contributing to the restoration of the Holy Etchmiadzin Cathedral, Armenpress reports.
Cher posted a photo on Instagram, saying: “My Armenian roots are a huge part of who I am, and I am thrilled to be a part of such a worthwhile cause”.
American-Armenian film producer Eric Esrailian also made a post on Instagram, stating that he will continue supporting Armenia and Artsakh. “I am honored to support several charitable causes for Armenia and Artsakh and I will continue to do so. The Armenian Apostolic Church, the Holy Etchmiadzin Cathedral - the oldest in the world dating back to 303 AD - and the Khor Virap Monastery and Church Complex are particularly important to me”, he said.
He thanked his friends and partners for helping preserve, restore and protect these sacred sites.
The restoration works of the Holy Etchmiadzin Cathedral have started in 2017 and are still in process.
