Etchmiadzin Cathedral, Vagharshapat, Armavir, Armenia, Eurasia
Mother Cathedral of Holy Etchmiadzin originally known as the Holy Mother of God Church, is a 4th-century Armenian church in the town of Ejmiatsin, Armenia and is the oldest state-built church in the world. It is also the central cathedral of the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin of the Armenian Apostolic Church. Etchmiadzin Cathedral is listed among the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The Etchmiadzin Cathedral is the oldest state-built church in the world. The original vaulted basilica was built in 301-303 by Saint Gregory the Illuminator when Armenia officially became the first Christian country in the world. Gregory had converted King Tiridates III and members of his court. According to the 5th-century Armenian annals, St. Gregory had a vision of Christ descending from heaven and striking the earth with a golden hammer to show where the cathedral should be built. Hence, the patriarch gave the church and the city the new name of Echmiadzin, which may be translated as the place where the Only Begotten descended. In 480, Vahan Mamikonian, the Sassanian governor (marzban) of Armenia, ordered the dilapidated basilica to be replaced with a new cruciform church. In 618, the wooden dome was replaced with a stone one, resting on four massive pillars linked to exterior walls by arcades. This was the church much as it is today. Murals in the interior and extravagant rotundas surmounting the apses appeared in the early 18th century. A three-tier belfry was constructed half a century earlier. The cathedral formerly boasted the largest collection of Armenian medieval manuscripts, but these were lately handed over to the Matenadaran in Yerevan. Immediately west of the cathedral is the Gate of St. Tiridates, leading to the imposing patriarchal palace. To the northeast, with buildings both within and outside the enclosure, is the Spiritual Academy. Several khachkars are north of the cathedral.

Etchmiadzin-Vagharschapat (Armenia) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Etchmiadzin-Vagharschapat in Armenia.
The village of Etchmiadzin is the religious centre of Armenia. At the entrance to the village is Hripsime Church. Here the nun Hripsime died a martyrs‘ death. She fled with a group of nuns to Armenia from Roman Emperor, Diocletian. The Armenian king, Trdat saw the beautiful Hripsime, instantly fell in love with her, and wanted her as his wife. But the deeply religious young Christian woman rejected the pagan king and he therefore had thirty five nuns tortured and killed. Surrounded by an old cemetery is another domed basilica, that of Gajane Church that dates back to the seventh century. A small crypt was built for the tomb of Abbess Gajane who was executed together with the nun, Hripsime. In 630 A.D., Catholicos Jezr ordered the building of Gajane Church, the fine wall paintings and splendid religious stonemasonry of which make it a cultural treasure. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the interiors were redesigned by the Hovnatanjan Family of artists. Thus was created one of the few coloured churches in Armenia. The sacristy became the church museum with the ‘holy lance head’ of Roman soldier, Longinus, crosses and the famous right hands of the Catholicoi. Magnificent liturgical robes recall the importance of Etchmiadzin as being the religious centre of Armenia.

예레반 남서쪽 20Km지점에 위한 에치미아진. 에치미아진은 아르메니아 정교회의 바티칸으로 불리는 데 미사는 오전11시부터 오후1시까지 2시간동안 지낸다. 나는 미사시간보다 조금 일찍 도착하게 돼 기념품가게에 들어갔다. 여러 기념품 중 유독 눈에 띄는 건 301년, 기독교를 국교로 선포한 후 1700년이 지난 2001년에 커다란 행사를 이곳 에치미아진에서 했다는 점이다. 에치미아진 일대는 서기180년에서 340년까지 아르메니아의 수도였는데 세계최초로 기독교를 국교로 선포할 당시 이 곳은 지금의 교황청과 같은 역할을 했다. 미사를 한창 지낼 무렵, 카레킨 대주교가 입장해 미사에 참석한 신도들에게 영적 축복을 내린다. 미사에 참석한 신도들은 성호경을 그리며 각자 저마다의 소원을 빌어본다. 나는 생각해봤다. 눈물지으며 신께 호소하는 저 할머니. 그녀의 소망은 전 세계에서 민들레처럼 억척스럽게 살아가는 아르메니안의 영원함을 갈구하는 것은 아닐까 하고.

St. Hripsime (Echmiadzin, Arménie/Armenia)
Echmiadzin, also Echmiatsin, Etchmiadzin, Ejmiatsin is the spiritual centre of Armenia and the seat of the Catholicos of All Armenians, the head of the Holy Armenian Apostolic Church. It is the most populous city in Armavir province, about 20 km west of Yerevan. The 1989 census counted the population of Echmiadzin as 61,000; it has declined considerably since: 56,388 in the 2001 census, and an estimated 52,757 in 2008.
The town originated as Vardkesavan or Vardgesavan in the 4th or 3rd century BC. King Vagharsh (117-140) had the name changed to Vagharshapat which still persists as the official appellation of the town. Several decades later the town became the capital of Armenia and remained the country's most important city until the 4th century AD. Over the centuries the city has borne several other names, including: Avan Vardgesi, Artemed, Iejmiatsin, Kaynepolis, Kayrak'aghak', Norak'aghak', Uch'k'ilisa, Üçkilise, and Valeroktista.
Historically, the focal point of the town is the Echmiadzin Cathedral, the oldest in the world. It was originally built by Saint Gregory the Illuminator as a vaulted basilica in 301-303, when Armenia was the only country in the world the state religion of which was Christianity. According to the 5th-century Armenian annals, St. Gregory had a vision of Christ descending from heaven and striking the earth with a golden hammer to show where the cathedral should be built. Hence, the patriarch gave the church and the town the new name of Echmiadzin, which may be translated as the place where the Only Begotten descended.
In 480, Vahan Mamikonian, the Roman governor of Armenia, ordered the dilapidated basilica to be replaced with a new cruciform church. In 618, the wooden dome was replaced with a stone one, resting on four massive pillars linked to exterior walls by arcades. This was the church much as it is today. Murals in the interior and extravagant rotundas surmounting the apses appeared in the early 18th century. A three-tier belfry was constructed half a century earlier. The cathedral formerly boasted the largest collection of Armenian medieval manuscripts, but these were lately handed over to the Matenadaran.
Immediately west of the cathedral is the Gate of St. Tiridates, leading to the imposing patriarchal palace. To the northeast, with buildings both within and outside the enclosure, is the Spiritual Academy. Several Khachkars are north of the cathedral.
Apart from the cathedral, the town contains two highly important and very ancient churches. The church of St Gayane, distinguished by its harmonious proportions, was constructed in 630 and underwent enlargement in the 17th century, when the dome was rebuilt and a porch was added. The church of St. Hripsime was built in 618 and survives basically unchanged. Those two churches, the cathedral and the nearby archaeological site of Zvartnots, are listed among the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. (wikipedia)

Το Βαγαρσαπάτ (ή Ετσμιαντζίν) είναι το κέντρο της Αρμενικής Αποστολικής Εκκλησίας και η «πνευματική πρωτεύουσα» της Αρμενίας. Ο καθεδρικός ναός του Ετσμιαντζίν είναι η μητρική εκκλησία της Αρμενικής Αποστολικής Εκκλησίας. Η αρχική εκκλησία χτίστηκε μεταξύ 301 και 303 από τον πολιούχο της Αρμενίας Άγιο Γρηγόριο τον Φωστήρα. Σύμφωνα με τους περισσότερους μελετητές είναι ο παλαιότερος καθεδρικός ναός στον κόσμο.

Echmiadzin is the center of the Armenian Church. It is where the Catholicos Of All Armenians lives, and the location of the Ejmiatsin Cathedral.
