Pilgrims are the faithful persons who feel the thirst to fill their spiritual life by communion with God and holy relics (with all the full meaning of relics), to give meaning to own life, and to obtain power from the holy destinations in order to withstand forthcoming temptations.

Armenia is a wonderful country for a pilgrim to make a way to. Here one is embraced with ancient Christian culture, unique pilgrimage opportunities, miraculous holy sights and inspiring nature of mysterious stone-land. All this is concurrent with safety and comfort.

Be aware that Armenia was the first country to adopt Christianity as State Religion in 301 and that two of our Lord's apostles, St. Thaddeus and St. Bartholomew, brought Christianity to Armenia in the first century.
