Religious And Historical Tours in Armenia

Armenia is known to be the first country in the world to adopt Christianity as a state religion. It happened in the distant year 301. Since then, Armenia has never changed its faith and has been faithful to Christianity for more than 17 centuries. Many of the beautiful temples in the country date back more than a thousand years and many of them are more than two millennia old. We invite you to touch the history and feel the indescribable aura of the ancient Armenian churches and follow the path of the disciples of Jesus Christ, Thaddeus, and Bartholomew, who was the first to preach Christianity in these parts.

By the way, places of pilgrimage were (and are) not only Christian shrines but also springs in the mountains and in caves, from which healing water allegedly flowed, trees wish-fulfilling, on which handkerchiefs were tied, mountain peaks, the mountain itself, such as Ararat. This, as can be assumed, is the remnants of pagan beliefs that have passed into folk traditions and holidays. Many Christian believers still make a pilgrimage to Armenia to follow in the footsteps of the apostles, since, according to legend, it was the apostles Thaddeus and Bartholomew who preached Christianity in Armenia, to see Mount Ararat as a symbol of the salvation of mankind from the Flood.
