Rev. Fr. Paretchanian's Bowl and Silver Cup

Rev. Fr. Hagop Paretchanian (1830-1923) was regarded as a hero for being the first priest to minister to the Armenians in Massachusetts in the late 1800s. Curator Gary Lind-Sinanian shares two silver pieces that were donated to the Museum by his great-granddaughter. Rev. Paretchanian is remembered for his steadfast efforts towards establishing the first Armenian Church in Boston, and also as a lovable man with a lot of character!
