The largest Armenian church in the world
People have always admired the great talent and astounding works of Armenian architects. St Grigor Lusavorich Church is one of the thousands of stunning churches and monasteries in Armenia.
St Grigor Lusavorich Church is standing on Tigran Mets Avenue. Armenians built the church in 1997-2001 high on a hill. The purpose of building the church was to celebrate 1700 years of Christianity.
The complex consists of three churches: the cathedral, the Chapel of St Tiridates the King, and the Chapel of St Ashkhen the Queen. King Tiridates and Queen Ashkhen were those important figures who helped Grigor Lusavorich to spread Christianity all over Armenia.
The church is also unique for its inner design. There are 1700seats for people. You can find no candle in the church which is typical of all Armenian churches.
You should see the incredible building with your own eyes and feel its simplicity and at the same time superb uniqueness!
