St. James' mother?

Some years ago, while visiting Jerusalem and just exploring the alley ways
of teh old city, I happened to stumbl upon an ordination at the Armwnian
church of St. James in the Armenian quarter.   I still remember the smells
of the incense and sounds of hauntingly beautiful acapella music from that
day.
