Liturgia armênia como tradição normativa

O que é: A liturgia armênia ocupa lugar central na transmissão da fé.

Como a tradição entende: O culto não é apenas expressão externa, mas meio de ensinar, recordar, santificar e unir a comunidade à tradição apostólica e patrística.

Base e contexto: Língua litúrgica, música, calendário, gesto ritual eucarístico e memória dos santos compõem essa identidade.

Debates e variações: A pastoral da diáspora pode adaptar idiomas e formas, mas sem perder a centralidade da tradição litúrgica.
