Armenian Culture has earned its place in the history of the world by virtue of the fact that it is one of the oldest, continuous civilizations today. Throughout the centuries, Armenians have created a unique and remarkable culture at the intersection of east and west. Even though countless invaders attempted to destroy it, archaeological research testifies to its existence alongside that of the Babylonians and the Assyrians from at least the III Millennium BC, proven by excavations at Erebuni, Teyshebaini and Medzamor. In 301AD, Armenians were the first nation to officially adopt Christianity as their national state religion , and this influenced many developments in Armenian culture, and specifically architecture. Replacing pagan temples with the first churches, Christian influences created architectural masterpieces such as the churches of Hripsime Gayane and the gem of 7th Century Armenian architecture

ELEMENTS OF PRE-CHRISTIAN RELIGION IN ARMENIA Henry Wathen Introduction Armenia's Pre-Christian religion is sometimes classified as Zoroastrianism. However, it is disputable whether it is correct to label it Zoroastrianism as this does not take into consideration its earliest Indo-European origins, Sumerian links, as well as Assyrian , Babylonian and Hellenic influences; the latter being very strong from Alexander the Great's conquest of Mesopotamia in 331 BC to the rise of the Sassanid dynasty in Persia in 226 AD. Although Armenia was the first major kingdom to adopt Christianity, in 301 (314) AD, many rituals and symbols of the Pre-Christian era have prevailed to our times. As early as the 6th century AD, the Armenian Apostolic Church separated itself from the Church of Byzantium by rejecting the confession adopted at the council of Chalcedon, thus the Armenian Church has been spared from the reforms and splintering that Western Christianity has been through. After the Seljuk conquests and during the Age of Discoveries when trade along the Silk Road declined, Armenia lost its importance as a throughway for trade. The resulting isolation helped conserve the uniqueness of Armenian Culture. Even up into these last years of the 2nd millennium of the Christian Era, ancient symbols and rituals have prevailed in Armenian society. In this article I will discuss the use and origins of some symbols and rituals that are still in use today, namely the Tree of Life, vishapner (dragons), the Symbol of Eternity, worship of the Sun and Mount Ararat, animal sacrifice, 'Beauty and Motherhood Day,'as well as

First, it was a devastating earthquake in 1988 that took away over thousands of lives and rendered so many homeless, then it was the prolonged war in Nagorno-Karabakh that also involved Armenia. The war led to blockades of trade routes, which in turn led to shortage of food and other amenities.

Armenia Time and Date Armenia Culture Back to Top The Armenians became active in literature and many art forms at a very early point in their civilization. The beginning of truly national art is usually fixed at the onset of the Christian era. The three great artistic times coincided with times of freedom or semi-freedom: from the fifth to the seventh century; the Bagratid golden age of the 9th and 10th centuries; and the era of the kingdom of Lesser Armenia in the 12th to 14th centuries. Of particularly high quality in the earlier times were work in gold and bronze, as well as temples, and military fortifications. In the early Christian era, classical church architecture was adapted in a series of cathedrals. The circular domes typical of Armenian churches were copied in Western Europe and in Ottoman Turkey. The best example of the typical architectural sculpture used to adorn such churches is the early tenth-century Church of the Holy Cross on an island in Lake Van. The nineteenth century saw a blooming of Armenian painting. Artists from that time, such as the portrait painter Hacop Hovnatanian and the seascape artist Ivan Aivazovsky, continue to enjoy international reputations. famous figures of the twentieth century have included the unorthodox Alexander Bazhbeuk-Melikian, who lived a persecuted existence in Tbilisi, and the émigré surrealist Arshile Gorky, who greatly determined a generation of young American artists in New York.

Cultural tradition has been a means of maintaining a sense of national unity among widely dispersed groups of Armenians. Literature and the Arts The Armenians became active in literature and many art forms at a very early point in their civilization. Urartian metalworking and architecture have been traced back to about 1000 B.C. The beginning of truly national art is usually fixed at the onset of the Christian era. The three great artistic periods coincided with times of independence or semi-independence: from the fifth to the seventh century; the Bagratid golden age of the ninth and tenth centuries; and the era of the kingdom of Lesser Armenia in the twelfth to fourteenth centuries. Of especially high quality in the earlier periods were work in gold and bronze, as well as temples, military fortifications, and aqueducts. In the early Christian era, classical church architecture was adapted in a series of cathedrals. The circular domes typical of Armenian churches were copied in Western Europe and in Ottoman Turkey. The best example of the distinctive architectural sculpture used to adorn such churches is the early tenth-century Church of the Holy Cross on an island in Lake Van. The architecture of contemporary Erevan is distinguished by the use of pinkish tufa stone and a combination of traditional Armenian and Russian styles.
