Armenia?

Yep - Armenia it is - the king made the state a christian nation in 301 A.D. (CE) based on the work that 2 of the 12 disciples Bartholowmeu and Thaddeaus (sp?) did in the 1st Century.

 

It has remain as such - even thorughout the Soviet era and the Armenian Orthodox church remains a seperate church to others.

 

All your - and enjoy your Middle East packing
