Religion

Armenia takes pride in being the first country to embrace Christianity. The Armenian Church is thought to have been formed by two of Jesus' apostles who taught Christianity between 40 and 60 AD. This is why their religion is known as the Armenian Apostolic Church. As a result, you will witness some of Armenia's earliest Christian churches. Despite the fact that Christians account for 95% of the population, members of other faiths are cordially welcomed. They even have the largest Yazidi temple in the world.

Most Armenians are Christians (97%) and belong to Armenia's own church, the Armenian Apostolic Church, which is one of the oldest Christian churches in the world. It was established in the first century AD and became the first branch of Christianity to be recognized as a state religion in 301 AD.

According to a December 2018 Pew Research report, Armenia is the second most religious country in Europe, with 80 percent of respondents stating that they believe in God with total confidence.
