This is the only possession Hampartzoum left from Perri with. He purchased this prayer book one day while walking down the roadside. He saw a Turkish boy flipping thru it and asked if he could see it. He then asked the boy if he could purchase it with the few coins in his pocket, the boy happily obliged. This book brought much comfort to Hampartzoum and those he would travel with because during the daytime they would hide and read and then travel by starlight at night. They did this all the way from Perri to Iran. Hampartzoum says that he is not sure that he would have survived his ordeal without this book.
