This has nothing to do and everything to do with the kerfluffle on Palm St. A little journey into understanding here:
The Altadenablogmaster considers himself Anglican with a stiff shot of Eastern Orthodoxy thrown in, and an interest in church history. So after the events of recent weeks, we asked ourselves, "Who or what is Sahag and Mesrob, anyway?"
It's old hat for anyone of Armenian heritage, but it's news to us. Saints Sahag and Mesrob, aka "The Holy Translators," developed the Armenian alphabet, thus making it possible to translate the Bible (and everything else) into what was until then only an oral language. One of the aims of their effort was to design letters that were not only useful, but beautiful. More information here and here.
