The Armenian Church House – a community religious, cultural and social hub in London Ազգային Առաջնորդարան եւ համայնքային հոգեւոր, մշակութային ու ընկերային կեդրոն Building our community together is essential today, perhaps more than any time before, as we live in the most challenging times around the globe and in the Armenian world. Creating a home, a hub, a centre for all Armenians in London requires us all to pull together our ideas, talents and resources and help make it a reality. This proposed new centre is called “House” because it will be the new home of our community and will serve as the headquarters of the Armenian church -- just as The Church House next to the Westminster Abbey is the home of the headquarters of the Church of England, with various facilities.

Podpis autora práce iii iv On the ancient peak of Ararat The centuries have come like seconds, And passed on. The swords of innumerable lightnings Have broken upon its diamond crest, And passed on.

Especially, I would like to thank him for introducing me to the art of Caucasus and giving me the opportunity to travel to Armenia for studies, where I spent five exciting months. I would like to thank teachers from Yerevan State Academy of Arts, namely to Gayane Poghosyan and Ani Yenokyan, who were always very kind and helped me with better access of certain Armenian literature.

To Khajag, who helped me with translation of Armenian texts and motivating me during the whole process.

  • Yerevan, Armenia
    INFORMATION YEREVAN, ARMENIA OCTOBER 10th-13th, 2018 ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating 2018/19, Armenian Cup 2018 Yerevan: the capital of Armenia In October Yerevan will celebrate its 2800th anniversary. According to legends Noah lived at this territory before the Great Flood. And after leaving his ark on top of Ararat Mountain, he got down back to the valley where Yerevan is located nowadays. Yerevan, or rather Erebuni Fortress, was founded by the king Argishti of Urartu in 782 BC, that is 29 years earlier than Rome. This fort is situated on the southern border of modern Yerevan. Armenia is the world’s first country which adopted Christianity as its state religion (in 301). And later, in 303, 20 kilometers away from Yerevan Etchmiadzin Cathedral was founded. It has been the residence of the Patriarch (the Catholicos) of the Armenian Apostolic Church from that time to the present. One of the main museums of Yerevan is the Mesrop Mashtots Institute of Ancient Manuscripts, commonly referred to as the Matenadaran. It was founded in 1920 on the basis of Etchmiadzin collection of manuscripts. The Matenadaran is in possession of a collection of the 5th-18th-century manuscripts and unique Armenian books, including the Lazar Gospel (887), the Etchmiadzin Gospel (989) and the Mugni Gospel (the 11th century). The world's first textbook of arithmetic tasks was compiled by Armenian scientist David the Invincible. It is also kept at the Matenadaran. Moreover, the Matenadaran is a home of four Guinness world record manuscripts - the biggest, the smallest, the thickest and the thinnest books on Earth.

  • The Impressive 14Th Century Tsminda Sameba Trinity Church
    The impressive 14th century Tsminda Sameba Trinity Church This is a journey of exploration to the Caucasus and more specifically to three small nations: Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia. Located between the Black and Caspian Seas, they were former Soviet Republics. Since winning their independence in 1991, they have prospered and joined the world. The Silk Road, connecting Asia and Europe, crossed through these lands, providing them with a long and storied history as well as a sense of belonging. Being at the crossroads, they are neither European nor Asian, but something uniquely different. Why visit the Caucasus? This journey offers insights of a very different world, one with magnificent mountain scenery and a long religious and trading history. Christianity was brought here during the 1st century AD by the Apostles. Armenia was the first nation to adopt Christianity as their national religion in the 4th century. Everywhere we go, we will find religious relics: Pagan, Zoroastrian, Christian and Islamic. It is small wonder then that their respective histories developed with this strong faith and their monuments to the past take the form of religious stone buildings and statues. Virtually every important sight and beautiful landscape is marked by an historic structure. This journey will take us to the major centres such as Baku, Tbilisi and Yerevan, where we will find very comfortable accommodations and services. We will also venture into the countryside to experience life as it is today, and where our accommodations while still very comfortable, will be a little more rustic. Group size is strictly limited and we anticipate that the group will fill Aragvi and Mtkvari Rivers - Credit Roslyn Craig quickly.

  • L'arte Degli Yovnatʽanean. Stato Degli Studi E Proposte Di Ricerca
    L’arte armena. Storia critica e nuove prospettive Studies in Armenian and Eastern Christian Art 2020 a cura di Aldo Ferrari, Stefano Riccioni, Marco Ruffilli, Beatrice Spampinato L’arte degli Yovnatʽanean. Stato degli studi e proposte di ricerca Marco Ruffilli Université de Genève, Suisse Abstract This text is about the main artistic production of the Armenian family of painters Yovnatʽanean – named after its forefather Nałaš Yovnatʽan – and it focuses es- pecially on the state of the art of this subject. As leading figures of the origins of ‘modern’ Armenian painting, the Yovnatʽaneans represent a central phase in the artistic path of their people. Moreover, they allow us to address some more general historiographic issues linked to studies on Armenian culture and to the development of art in Southern Caucasus and in Central Asia between the 17th and the 19th century. Keywords Yovnatʽanean family. Etchmiadzin cathedral. Armenian-Georgian cultural ties. Nakhchivan. Early Modern Armenian Studies. La produzione pittorica degli Yovnatʽanean rappresenta, per estensione cro- nologica e ampiezza geografica, un’epoca intera della storia dell’arte tra Cau- caso meridionale, Russia e Persia. La centralità di cui questa famiglia godette per cinque generazioni, oltre a testimoniare una viva capacità di accoglie- re e rielaborare gli spunti figurativi del proprio tempo, introduce, più in ge- nerale, alla riflessione sulla storia dell’arte armena in epoca ‘moderna’. Di là dal vieto dibattito sul significato storiografico dei termini, così generali, di ‘Oriente’ e ‘Occidente’, è evidente in ogni caso come l’arte del popolo arme- no si collochi al centro di questi due poli e di più civiltà; e come in alcune fa- si della sua storia i suoi caratteri propri, sempre individuabili e originali, si siano sviluppati anche nel contatto con altre culture figurative o addirittu- ra, in alcuni casi, entro un linguaggio comune.
