Armenian Churches Become UNESCO World Heritage Sites



Very happy about this one!
Located in Iran, the Monastic Ensembles are represented by three churches: St. Stepanos, the Chapel of Dzordzor, and St. Thaddeus, the latter being one of the oldest churches in the world, whose construction began 1700 years ago.
A terrific step towards preserving a bit of our culture from destruction, but still a long way to go!
