Highlights from Armenia

Post Summary:

Our Armenia Bloggers departed Yerevan not quite a week ago: jet lag is fading, we're returning to normal life … but we're all changed by our experience.

Take a look at some photo/video highlights from our trip and see what inspired us, what moved us, and how together we're already making a difference for the wonderful people of this beautiful country.

DAY 1

After flying into Yerevan, we spent our first day there before driving north to Gyumri for the week. Near Yerevan, we visited Etchmiadzin Cathedral (left below). Constructed from 301-303 AD, it is considered the oldest cathedral in the world! As you can see, it is in the process of being restored today, and still serves as the mother church of the Armenian Apostolic Church.
