On April 24, 1915, the Armenian people were forcibly marched into the desert and executed. The Armenian nation was exiled from its ancestral homeland. Over 1.5 million people perished at the hands of the Turks in what became known as the First Genocide of the 20th Century. Despite volumes of written documentation, foreign government archives and eyewitness accounts, the Turkish government has yet to accept responsibility.
One of Jesus’ disciples, Peter, asked him, “Lord, how often should I forgive someone who has hurt me? As many as seven times? Jesus answered “Not seven times, but, I tell you, seventy-seven times.”
Ninety years after the Genocide of 1915, a group of men and women – many of whom were descendents of survivors – marched onto a desert. On Sunday, April 24, 2005 this group donning t-shirts with the mathematical notation “7x77” lined up with their palms united in a human ribbon of love and solidarity. They walked in the shoes of a generation who knew only suffering. They walked in the shoes of Christ knowing that love is a greater power than evil.
