  • 40 CHURCHES in 7 DAYS 7 DAY TOUR ITINERARY* DAY 1 Meeting
    40 CHURCHES IN 7 DAYS 7 DAY TOUR ITINERARY* DAY 1 Meeting at the airport, transfer to the hotel and check-in. The first steps of your Pilgrimage will start from Katoghike Holy Mother of God and Zoravor Surb Astvatsatsin Churches, both dating back to the XIII century, situated in the centre of Yerevan. To get acquainted with the capital of Armenia, we will have a City Tour in Yerevan - one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and the only one, that has a "Birth Certificate" - a cuneiform inscription, left by King Argishti I on a basalt stone slab about the foundation of the city in 782 BC, displayed at the Erebuni Fortress-Museum. Yerevan is often pegged as the "Pink City" because of the colour of the stones used to build much of the city centre. Another name of Yerevan is an "Open-air Museum", the reason of which you will understand upon your visit. We will start the City tour from visiting Cascade Monument which is about 450 meters high and 50 meters wide. A panoramic view from the top of Cascade opens up a breathtaking city view with Opera House, Mount Ararat, Swan Lake, Republic Square and posh Northern Avenue, along which you will walk down during the tour. We will also visit Matenadaran, which means a "book-depository" in old Armenian. Indeed, Matenadaran is the pride of Armenian culture, the world's largest storage of ancient manuscripts. In fact, it is a scientific research institute of ancient manuscripts which stores more than 17 thousand ancient manuscripts and more than 100 thousand ancient archival documents.

  • Armenia and the Armenian Apostolic Church Dr. Law Chi Lim Armenia Is
    Armenia and the Armenian Apostolic Church Dr. Law Chi Lim Armenia is a landlocked country in South Caucasia in Euroasia. The Armenians trace their origin as far back as 1000 BC, and the Armenian Empire at its zenith ( 95 to 66 BC) occupied a much larger areas than what it does today, encompassing lands in what is now Eastern Turkey and Iran. In the past, Armenia has been invaded and conquered numerous times by her powerful neighbours: Persians, Monguls, Arabs, Ottoman Turks and Russians. Thus , the history of the land, particularly in the 20th century, is one of tragedy and trauma, resulting in waves of exodus of its people. The fact is , while there are only about 3 million people living in present-day Armenia now , there are up to 8 million ethnic Armenians living outside the country in various parts of the world. The Armenian Apostolic Church Christianity spread to Armenia as early as AD 40 . In fact, it was in AD 301 that it became the first country in the history of the world to make Christianity a state religion---- a full ten years before the Roman Empire officially stopped persecuting Christians, and 36 years before Constantine the Great was baptized. Tradition has it that it was Bartholomew and Thaddeus ( two of the original twelve apostles of Christ) who went to Armenia to spread the gospel in the 1st century and hence the name of Armenia Apostolic Church. While initially the church remained in communion with the religious authorities in Rome, in time, because of theological reasons( Note 1), it began to distant itself from Rome .

  • Ucla Archaeology Field School
    MASIS BLUR ARCHAEOLOGICAL PROJECT, ARMENIA Course ID: ARCH 365AM June 24–July 28, 2018 FIELD SCHOOL DIRECTORS: Dr. Alan Farahani, Postdoctoral Fellow & Director of the Ancient Agriculture and Paleoethnobotany Laboratory, Cotsen Institute of Archaeology at UCLA ([email protected]) Ms. Kristine Martirosyan-Olshansky, Assistant Director of the Research Program in Armenian Archaeology and Ethnography, Cotsen Institute of Archaeology at UCLA ([email protected]) INTRODUCTION The Southern Caucasus, located between Europe and Asia, has served as an important corridor for human movement and migration since the Paleolithic period connecting Anatolia, the Near East, Europe, and Asia. The Ararat plain in particular was among the most important routes during the Neolithic period. It is within this landscape that all known Neolithic settlements of Armenia are concentrated. The site of Masis Bur, a Neolithic sedentary agricultural settlement, is located on the ancient bank of the Hrazdan river, the largest river which flows through Armenia and drains into the Araks River along the border between Armenia and Turkey. Once a 2.5-meter-high anthropogenic mound, today the site can be recognized only through artifact scatters across the agricultural field. The mound was destroyed during the early 1970s, after which the Department of Archaeology of Yerevan State University conducted two seasons of exploratory excavations in the mid-1980s, documenting well- preserved architecture and associated features built from plastered mud. The site was dated to the Late Neolithic Period (ca. 5600-5400 BC) based on ceramic and lithic typology. In 2012, our joint Armenian-American team began systematic excavations at Masis Blur under the auspices of Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography in Yerevan (Armenia) and the Cotsen Institute of Archaeology at UC Los Angeles.
