Religious tours to Armenia

And the ark rested in the seventh month,
on the seventeenth day of the month,
upon the mountains of Ararat.
Gen 8:4

You still think why Armenia is considered to be a must religious destination?

The Noah’s Arc descended on the Biblical Mt. Ararat situated in the Historical Armenia …….. It’s the first country that adopted Christianity as a state religion in 301 …It’s the country where the first religious war took place....It’s a country where you can feel authentic Christianity!
So, welcome to explore religious tours to Armenia.

The religious tours to Armenia give the opportunity to be very close to Christianity and the monasteries that are functioning with the ancient Biblical Mt. Ararat on which Noah’s Ark descended. The Christian faith was introduced in Armenia by the two apostles Thaddeus and Bartholomew in the 1st cent. That’s why Armenian Church is called Apostolic which is an independent Christian church among the Oriental Orthodoxy. In 301 A.D. Gregory the Illuminator (the Head of Armenian Apostolic Church) with the Armenian king Trdat III adopted Christianity as a state religion. Before baptizing the king and the nation of the Christian faith Gregory the Illuminator was imprisoned for 13 years for his faith in Khor Virap (“Deep pit”) which is now a must church for pilgrims who consider this place as a cradle of Christianity. In 2001 when Armenians celebrated the 1700 anniversary Christianity John Paul II came to Armenia and brought the holy relics of Gregory the Illuminator from San Gregorio Armeno in Naples. So during your religious tours to Armenia you will by all means visit Khor Virap Manastic Complex as it’s the real birthplace of Christianity and is one of the must sees.
The Christian faith became so strong among Armenians that they have started building numerous Armenian churches. As a result now 4000 monuments are calculated in the area of Republic of Armenia and some of them are inscribed in UNESCO World Heritage list. Among them Holy Etchmiadzin which is the central spiritual authority for millions of Armenian Christians living in Armenia and in the Diaspora, communities around the globe, etc.
The religious tours to Armenia are full of exploring churches of the early Christian period and the Middle Ages, as well as cross stones (KhatcKhars) that are real masterpieces of Armenian architecture.
