Khachkar

Bijbel, gebeden & heiligen

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Khachkar is a calm companion for the Armenian Apostolic faith, named after the khachkar, the carved Armenian cross-stone that has stood for prayer and remembrance for centuries. The whole Bible in five languages Read all 68 books of the Old and New Testament, including 1 and 2 Maccabees as the Armenian canon has them, with the English, Dutch, German, Armenian and Russian text. More than 32,000 verses, searchable across every translation at once. Highlight passages, add bookmarks and your own notes, and read comfortably in dark mode. Verse of the day and daily prayer Begin each morning with a new verse and a prayer. Put two widgets on your home screen: the verse of the day and a countdown to the next fast. Tapping either opens exactly where it says. Saints and apostles The lives of twenty Armenian saints and the Twelve Apostles, with authentic Armenian Orthodox icons, their miracles, their teachings, and the prayers that belong to them. Faith and symbols Fifty-two explainers on what you see and hear in church: the seven sacraments, the symbols, the objects on the altar, the seven deadly sins, the four Gospels, and the ranks of deacon. The Divine Liturgy The complete text of the Badarak, to follow the service word by word, with the Armenian in Latin script alongside for those who do not read the alphabet fluently. Churches, monasteries and the history of the Church Twenty-seven Armenian churches and monasteries, among them Etchmiadzin, Khor Virap and Geghard, with photographs, construction dates and architecture. And seventeen centuries of church history, from Thaddeus and Bartholomew to the present day. Liturgical calendar and fasting guide Every movable and fixed feast and fasting period of the Armenian year, with the rule for each fast written out: what it allows, what it asks you to leave, and who is excused. A live countdown shows how long is left. Find a parish One hundred and fifty-three Armenian Apostolic parishes across Europe and Russia, on the map and in a list grouped by country, sorted by distance once your location is known. Completely private, fully offline Khachkar runs entirely on your device. No account, no cloud, no tracking. Your name, birthday and reading activity never leave your phone. It also means the app works on a plane and on the drive to a monastery with no signal. Available in Dutch, English, German, Armenian and Russian. You can switch languages at any time in Settings.

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

The biggest update yet: every prayer from the book, the Oriental Orthodox saints, and a verse of the day that finally reads the whole Bible. • The verse of the day now comes from the whole Bible. It had been stuck in the opening chapters of Genesis; over a year it now reaches 60 of the 66 books • Every prayer is now the prayer as the book prints it, numbered the way the book numbers them, in Armenian letters. The cycle can be read straight through instead of one prayer at a time • The Oriental Orthodox saints now stand apart from the Armenian ones, with thirteen added: Coptic, Syriac, Ethiopian and Indian • Every saint is shown with an icon, and the profile pictures you can choose are icons too, not paintings • Faith and symbols: all 52 explainers now read in English, each with its own photograph • A fasting reminder and the verse of the day are offered when you set up your profile • The typefaces travel with the app, so it works with no connection at all • The loading circle is the app’s own mark now, the same one you see at launch • The calendar says what its coloured dots mean • Today on the home screen is gone; it only repeated Discover • Fixed: your own profile photo disappeared when the app restarted • Fixed: the Armenian and Russian menus showed unreadable characters • Fixed: a saint’s feast day read 10/1 instead of a date
