📖 This Week's Story

Jesus once said something very beautiful: "I am the light of the world." What does that mean? When it's dark, we can't see anything. We might feel scared. But when we turn on a light, suddenly everything is clear and we feel safe. Jesus is like that light! His love and teachings help us see the right path. In our Armenian churches, we light candles to remember this. When you light a candle in church, you're saying: "Jesus, you are my light." Each of us can be a light too! When we are kind, helpful, and loving, we bring light to others.
