Armenia, officially the Republic of Armenia, is a landlocked country in the Armenian Highlands of Western Asia. While Armenia is geographically located in the South Caucasus, it is generally considered geopolitically European.

The Armenian Apostolic Church is the world's oldest national church. It is part of Oriental Orthodoxy and is one of the most ancient Christian communities. Armenia was the first country to adopt Christianity as its official religion in the early fourth century (traditionally in 301) in establishing this church. The church claims to have originated in the missions of Apostles Bartholomew and Thaddeus in the 1st century and is an early center of Christianity. Echmiadzin Cathedral is the mother church of the Armenian Apostolic Church, located in the city of Vagharshapat. This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site
