Armenia is one of the world's oldest civilizations; it was the first country in the world to officially embrace Christianity as its religion (c. A.D. 301). Oral history explains the lineage of the Armenian people as being the direct descendants of Noah’s son Japheth.

 

Armenia is located at the crossroads between Europe and Asia, in the southern Transcaucasia. It is known as the “Island of Mountains” and once included Mount Ararat which biblical tradition identifies as the mountain that Noah's ark rested on after the flood.

 

It is bounded by Georgia on the north, Azerbaijan on the east, Iran on the south, and Turkey on the west. From ancient times, Armenians have cherished their artistic traditions, which reflect a unique culture and landscape. Aspects of everyday life are expressed in the most artistic fashion, in needlework, embellishments, carvings and design.
