Faith & Armenia

FaithArmenian Church is an independent Christian church, also known as the Armenian Apostolic Church (it is also referred to as the Armenian Orthodox Church or the Gregorian Church). Its head is the Catholicos, who resides at Holy Etchmiadzin, near Yerevan,the capital of Armenia. In 301 AD Armenia became the first country to establish Christianity as its state religion when St. Gregory the Illuminator convinced Tiridates III, the king of Armenia, to convert to Christianity. Christianity was first introduced by the apostles Bartholomew and Thaddeus in the first century AD. It has existed in Armenia for over 1,700 years. Christianity has a strong influence in the country, but there is a small presence of other religions too. Before this, the dominant religion was Zoroastrianism and to a smaller degree paganism. There are small communities of Catholic and Protestant Armenians, as missionaries converted a number of Armenians in the last few hundred years.© photo by Karen Mirzoyan© music by Grikor Arakelyan
