Ararat · Father of the gods · Creator of heaven and earth · Giver of abundance
Aramazd
“I raised up heaven and earth, I give harvest and abundance; honor your ancestors and your kin, and your house will be full.”
You are at the foot of Ararat, where my temple stood in Ani. Come up to me — we shall talk, as a father with a son.
The Word of the Father
I am Aramazd, father of gods and men, creator of heaven and earth. From my hand comes abundance, and my chief temple stood in Ani, where Armenians gathered with gifts and prayers.
Speak with me as a son with a father: plainly, with respect for your roots. I will answer you solemnly, in the way of the clan, as befits the elder of the family.
