Armenian Genocide Memorial Blessed in Boise

The new Armenian Genocide Memorial was blessed on Friday, in Boise, Idaho, USA. The new memorial honors the victims of the 1915 Armenian Genocide as part of the Marilyn Shuler Outdoor Classroom for Human Rights. Members of the Armenian community raised money to build a bench, audio installation and wall engraving in remembrance.

According to ''Idaho Press'', Mark Abajian, prominent leader in the Idaho Armenian community, said the community is very excited and loves the memorial.

Father Nektarios Serfes from the Greek Orthodox Church of Boise offered his services to bless the memorial. ''What a great day for you and your Armenian heritage,'' Serfes said to the crowd of more than thirty people. ''You should be proud.''
