What about the saints of the Armenian Church …
Is it possible to see somewhere their Calendar of Saints, please.

I’ve been to an Armenian Orthodox renting a church, an Armenian Orthodox at their church, and an Armenian Catholic at their church.
The Armenian Catholic had larger pictures of Mary/Saints/Icon type pictures*. This is similar to the look of a Byzantine Catholic church I once visited.
The Armenian Orthodox had smaller pictures and less areas of solid coloring that caught my attention.
The AC had a little open room on the side before entering the sanctuary where the candles were.
The AO had little areas inside the sanctuary near the doors and behind the pews on both sides where the candle areas are.
The AC had a service not more than 2 hours with less of the “…” “Lord have mercy (Der Voghormia)s”.
The AO has a service of often 3 hours.
I do not know if the AC uses spoons during communion/Eucharist.
The AO does not use spoons but the priest feeds the host directly to the receiver.
The architecture is very Armenian in both from what I have seen.
The music is similar.
The AC language seemed to be ancient Armenian as well. This is what the AO uses in liturgy.
Both serve good food afterwards.

The Armenian Catholics don’t use a spoon for communion.
The use of the spoon is investigated in:
Byzantine Communion Spoons: A Review of the Evidence, Robert F. Taft, Dumbarton Oaks Papers Vol. 50, (1996), pp. 209-238.
