The Church of St. Hripsime impresses with its age and strict, laconic beauty alone. This is a real immersion in history, where everything breathes the feat of the young Christian Hripsime. The realization that you are standing in the place where she was martyred for refusing to marry a pagan king is amazing. The architecture of the church perfectly conveys this harsh and majestic era. The powerful walls, the semi-darkness inside, the rays of light falling from the dome, the ancient stones of the floor, the worn steps ... After visiting, there was a feeling of contact with something truly great and timeless..... I recommend.

St. Hripsime Church is one of the pearls of Etchmiadzin, the current Vagharshapat. For 1400 years, the church has been an important spiritual center and not only for the Armenian Apostolic Church. Of course, the church has rightfully been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2000. We visited St. Hripsime's Church with friends, and the overall impression was one of delight!
