"The Armenian Church of the Holy Apostles in Ani. A broken inscription tells of a donation by Abughamir Pahlavuni in 1031." https://t.co/g90QbFHmDk

Sadly, the Khachkars have been destroyed.

Note the Muqarnas, the "stalactites" hanging over the main entrance and in the dome. Muqarnas are often seen in Islamic architecture, but the Armenian Geghard, Noravank and Yeghvard churches also have muqarnas.

The reddish-pink rocks & masonry on this sister's base were inspired by Ethiopia's rock-hewn churches, Armenia's Geghard monastery and the album art for Zola Jesus' Arkhon (shot in the Cave of the Mounds, Wisconsin USA).

Armenia is a country with a rich religious history, and it is known for its numerous religious pilgrimage sites. The predominant religion in Armenia is Christianity, specifically the Armenian Apostolic Church, which is one of the oldest Christian denominations in the world. Here are some important religious pilgrimage destinations in Armenia:

Etchmiadzin Cathedral: Located in the city of Vagharshapat, this cathedral is the spiritual center of the Armenian Apostolic Church. It is considered one of the oldest churches in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Khor Virap: This monastery is located near the border with Turkey and offers a stunning view of Mount Ararat. It is famous for its connection to Saint Gregory the Illuminator, who was imprisoned here for 13 years before converting Armenia to Christianity. Pilgrims visit Khor Virap to see the underground chamber where Saint Gregory was imprisoned and to offer prayers.

Geghard Monastery: This ancient complex is partly carved into the rock and is known for its unique architectural and cultural significance. The main chapel, Surb Astvatsatsin, is particularly revered by pilgrims. It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a popular pilgrimage destination.
