Let your Inner Light Radiate

Naturally, everyone, regardless of nationality, religion, age and values strive for the Light - consciously or subconsciously. Why? Because from the very beginning, the Light exists in human essence, but, unfortunately, it is drawn in the web of life routine. Holy places break the barriers and allow our Inner Light to radiate.

In the ancient Holy Land of Armenia, you will find the echo of your Inner Light.

The First Christians

The Kingdom of Armenia is the first country in the world to adopt Christianity as its state religion in 301 AD. However, since the very beginning of the 1st century, Armenian King Abgar V is claimed to be one of the first Christian kings in history, having been converted to the faith by Apostles Thaddeus and Bartholomew. This is why the Armenian Church is Apostolic. Explore the oldest cathedral in the world - Etchmiadzin (301 - 303 AD). As the seat of the Armenian Catholicos, the cathedral protects miraculous relics - the Lance, the hands of St. Gregory the Illuminator and the Apostle Thaddeus, a finger of St. Jude, a drop of St. Hripsime's blood, many more.
