On the first day of his official visit to the Vatican, during a private meeting with His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI, His Holiness Aram I Catholicos of Cilicia has shared with the Pope, according to the delegation accompanying the Catholicos, two concrete ideas: first, setting a common date for Easter celebration and a common Christian martyrs day to be commemorated by world Christendom.
Catholicos Aram I believes that such an ecumenical initiative will significantly help to give visible manifestation to Christian unity. His Holiness Aram I believes that the Roman Catholic Church, the World Council of Churches, the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox Churches, Christian World Communions and regional ecumenical organizations should join their efforts to reach a common agreement on these important questions.
The discussion between the two heads of the churches has also included issues and concerns related to inter-church relations, inter-religious dialogue and generally Christian presence in the Middle East.
