The Cradle of Christianity (9 Days)

Religious treasure of Armenia – The land of Biblical Garden of Eden.

Armenia was the first country to adopt Christianity, when St. Gregory the Illuminator converted the Arsacid king Tiradites III and in 301 Christianity was first proclaimed as the official religion. Visit the holy places, pilgrimage sites, religious, cultural and architectural monuments. The turbulent history of Armenia was a nonstop struggle for Christianity, full of sacrifices and sorrow.
