Armenia (Empire Divided) Religious Level 3

Christian Church

"The Lord is near to all who call on him in truth."

There were Christians in Armenia almost from the time of the new religion's inception. The bible states that, after Jesus sent out his apostles on a mission to spread the faith across the land, two of them - St Thaddeus and St Bartholomew - headed for Armenia. There, they preached among the local populace and brought many new believers to the budding religion. St Bartholomew is said to have died a martyr's death in Armenia, either by beheading or by being flayed alive. In spite of governmental attempts to suppress the spread of Christianity, the religion continued to grow; it's not surprising, then, that Armenia became the first Christian realm, at the beginning of the 4th century AD.
