Echmiadzin Monastery Review

[Echimiazin Cathedral] In the main cathedral of Echimiazin, the Armenian Apostolic Church retains a piece of wood, said to be fragments of Noah's Ark found by a saint on a high mountain in the 4th century. It is also more than 1,700 years old, and the only one in the world that claims to have fragments of Noah's Ark. I have looked through many strategies, and I have heard that the people who have seen the debris in this church are simply rare. Today I was fortunate to see the address: Araratyan Street, Vagharshapat, Armenian Transportation: Take bus 201 in the city to this long-distance bus station [kilkila bus]. In fact, 201 is to go to the airport, but you need to get off here and transfer to the 202 or 203 bus to Vargashapat (201 bus ticket 300 DRAM) ticket: 1500 DRAM But now this fragment is not in the church, the church is under maintenance, the fragment is in the museum opposite. Museum tickets 1500 DRAM Time: 10:30-17:00

Echimiyazin near Yerevan, the Armenian capital, is a small town full of history and culture, with a strong local style. The church here is also very special and worth a visit.

Emiciazin Cathedral is under maintenance, but the exterior still clearly shows a gorgeous historical sense. It was built in the Gregory era at the end of the Roman Empire in the fourth century AD and was the first Catholic church in Armenia. Very simple and magnificent.

The Echimiazin Cathedral, a world cultural heritage, is the first cathedral in Armenia, which is very old and was first built from the third century AD. The museum inside the cathedral is dedicated to many mythological treasures, including the fragments of Noah's Ark and the crucifixion of Jesus. If you can't see it all day long, the lights on the exhibits are perfect, and the gold and jewelry are set on it. The treasures created by various gemstone utensils are very exquisite and dizzying.

This is not so much a church, but a perfect complex of churches, monasteries, museums, private residences and gardens of the Armenian pope. We couldn't get in because the church was being restored outside. But we came to the museum next to the pope. The spear that pierced Jesus in the Bible was photographed. This is Armenia's national treasure! The relics of generations of Popes... cannot be praised. Since the museum belongs to the Pope's private place, photographs are prohibited in the residences and gardens inside. The museum must report for a group reservation and there is no ticket window.
