Itinerary

Saint Hripsime Church

Enjoy an excursion out to the Church of the Holy Virgin Hripsime which offers good views of Mounts Ararat and Aragats. This building has stood since 618 AD.

Saint Gayane Church

Your next destination is the 7th-century church of the Holy Virgin Gayane. These virgins martyred to spread Christianity in Armenia.

The Churches of Echmiatsin and the Archaeological Site of Zvartnots

Then visit Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin, the religious center of Armenia. The church was built in the place, where the Son of God (Jesus Christ), appeared in the dream of the first Catholicos of Armenia Gregory the Illuminator, pointed out. This is where the name Etchmiadzin (Only-begotten came down) emerged. This is where in 301-304 this church was built. Discover this Christian city! Feel the contact between God and you! On the way back to Yerevan enjoy the next Armenian 7th-century beauty Zvartnots, which means “Angels meeting”. Both Zvartnots temple and Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin are listed in UNESCO World’s Cultural Heritage Sites.
