EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image transports us back in time to the ancient Monastery of Echmiatzin, also known as Utch Kilisseh, nestled in the heart of Turkish Armenia. Founded allegedly by Saint Bartholomew in the 1st century, this historical monastery stands as a testament to the rich religious and cultural heritage of Asia. The monastery, which means 'the only temple' in Armenian, is one of the oldest and most revered sites in the Armenian Apostolic Church. It is believed that Saint Bartholomew, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, preached in the region and established the monastery during his missionary journey. The monastery complex, which dates back to the 19th century, is a stunning example of Armenian architecture, featuring intricate stone carvings, ornate domes, and colorful frescoes. The monastery complex includes several churches, a seminary, and a school, reflecting the importance of education and spiritual growth in the Armenian community. The monastery's location, situated on a hill overlooking the Aras River, offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding landscape. The image captures the monastery's serene beauty, with its red-tiled roofs and verdant gardens, surrounded by the rolling hills and vineyards of Turkish Armenia. This photograph, taken in 1846, provides a unique glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the enduring legacy of Saint Bartholomew and the Monastery of Echmiatzin, a symbol of faith and history in Asia.
