Armenian churches

Armenian churches are Christian places of worship rooted in the ancient Armenian Apostolic tradition, one of the world's oldest Christian communities. They are characterized by distinctive architecture, such as pointed domes, narrow aisles, and stone construction, reflecting both religious symbolism and local craftsmanship. These churches serve as spiritual centers, cultural symbols, and repositories of Armenian history. Their design often emphasizes verticality and simplicity, symbolizing divine connection, with important features like altars and stone carvings. Armenian churches have played a vital role in preserving Armenian identity, faith, and art through centuries of historical challenges.
