The world’s first Christian Country

lusine_avagyan_1980 — 2017-06-22 19:45:09 UTC

“With a population of only 3 million people, Armenia is one of the smallest countries in Europe. But it has a sizable place in spiritual history: most historians believe that in 301 AD, it became the first country in the world to adopt Christianity,” the piece says."
BBC
King Trdat adopted Christianity as the country’s religion in 301 A.D., many years before Constantine and the Roman Empire officially recognized the Christian faith.

Victor Amazaspovich Ambartsumian

The only other astronomer of this century who compares with Academician Ambartsumian in his consistency and devotion to astronomy is Professor Jan Oort; but they would appear to be dissimilar in every other way. It will be a worthy theme for a historian of science of the twenty-first century to compare and contrast these two great men of science. He is an astronomer. There can be no more than two or three astronomers in this century who can look back on a life so worthily devoted to the progress of astronomy.

The first thing coming to me when I think about this country is my memories when we, Soviet schoolchildren, collected toys to be given to the children who suffered the greatest earthquake in history of the country in 1988. That was a great disaster for the Armenian people. Hope nobody will ever experience that.
My husband works for the Armenian company and deals with the people from that wonderful country. As far as I know, they are very sincere and generous, easy-going and extrovert.

Armenians of Transylvania

izabelaedith — 2017-08-03 18:42:09 UTC

Armenians and Jewish are two traditional extraordinary ethnic minorities of Transylvania that have unfortunately disappeared over the XX’ th century. They left behind a rich culture and some very valuable architectural monuments, mainly religious ones.

Armenians have settled in Transylvania in late 17^th century and their evolution has been strongly influenced by the multicultural and multi religion specific of the area. In 1726 Janos Antalffy, the Roman Catholic bishop of Alba Iulia sent a letter to Rome reporting that 80 Armenian families were living by that time in Armenopolis (Gherla) and the same number of families in Elisabethopolis (Dumbraveni).

They had been granted privileges from the local ruler in order to support their mainly trading and crafteman activities. Those privileges attracted the hostility of the other ethnic groups of Transylvania, mainly the Hungarians and Saxons in some cases leading to conflicts. In 1712 for instance, the Saxons from Bistrita who were ruling the town forced all Armenians to leave the town in 24 hours, taking them responsible for the sprung of a black plague epidemic. Due to this order 231 Armenians from Bistrita relocated to Armenopolis, however, the ousting of Armenians did not solve the black plague problem.

The Armenians from Transylvania had been converted to Catholic faith by Oxendio Virizesco, born in 1655 in Botosani and Catholicized as a child. He later studied Collegio Urbano (the missionary college of the Sacra Congregatio de Propaganda Fide) in Rome and in 1685 was sent to Transylvania where he carried out an intense missionary work among the Armenians. Nowadays Armenian Catholic Church includes:

Parohia Armeano Catolica (Gherla, Szamosujvar)

Parohia Armeano Catolica (Dumbraveni, Erzsebetvaros)

Parohia Armeano Catolica (Gheorgheni, Gyergyoszentmiklos)

Parohia Armeano Catolica (Frumoasa, Csikszepviz)

Did you know that the world's oldest "shoe" is 5,500 years old

Angi_Muresan — 2017-08-27 13:44:29 UTC

It was discovered in a cave in Armenia. The old scholarship, dated by scholars about 5,500 years ago, was made of sheepskin and is supposed to have been manufactured in the Copper Age.

Angi_Muresan — 2017-08-27 13:48:49 UTC

Chess is an intellectual and also compulsory sport in Armenia. Children, after reaching the age of 6, are starting to attend intensive chess courses in schools. For Armenians, chess is a very serious study subject to exams! Chess develops considerably mental capabilities, and so "supercars and army of intellect" can be created, with which the nation's future is assured in every field.
