I messaged my friend and brother, Subdeacon Lazarus. He is, I think, our only active Armenian member. I'm hoping that he can answer your question.

"One day all our ethnic traits ... will have disappeared. Time itself is seeing to this. And so we can not think of our communities as ethnic parishes, ... unless we wish to assure the death of our community."

The hymn "Oor es Mayr eem" (Where are you my mother) is sung most solemnly on the eve of Great Friday. It is meant to evoke what is believed were the emotions of our Lord for His mother during His voluntary passion and crucifixion.
