Choosing Armenia as a destination for a Christian tour, you will find yourself at the roots of Christianity. Christianity was brought to Armenia by the apostles of Thaddeus and Bartholomew in 1c AD. Armenia was the first country in the world to adopt Christianity in 301 AD as a state religion. Since then, it has flourished in the country. We celebrated the 1700th anniversary of Christianity as a state religion in 2001. During this tour you will visit one of the oldest Christian churches of the world – Ejmiadzin Mother Cathedral (301-303) with a unique chance to see the treasures of the Armenian Apostolic church in the Residence of His Holiness and the museum with its famous relics Your guide will explain for you the difference between the Armenian apostolic church and the Catholic church, meet the clergyman for specific knowledge on the subject, understand how important the role of religion was for the Armenian nation's survival, and finally what happened to the church in the Soviet era and afterwards. |
