Pilgrims Van Kochbanz at the Sacred Willow – Commentary on the photo

Below is a photograph of the Sacred Willow and pilgrims from the village of Van Cochbanz (Photo source: Mkhitarist Congregation, Saint Lazarus, Venice).

Looking at this photo, you begin to understand that we were part of nature, lived with trees, stones, water, in nature we were healed of all diseases and we were happy.

Scientists of the XXI century have come to the conclusion that the entire Universe has one mind, that the Universe is a huge network with which we are connected.

If we do not see the mind of the rock, sea, nature, this does not mean that it doesn’t exist.

It was not in vain that William Saroyan collected stones, trying to hear the sound of stones in the silence of the night.
