Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin

The Mother Cathedral of Holy Etchmiadzin was built at the beginning of the 4th century, in 303, immediately after the proclamation of Christianity as the state religion in Armenia. According to the legend, St. Gregory the Illuminator has a vision where Christ descends from heaven in a bright image and shows with a golden hammer the place where the first Armenian church was to be built. The church built in this way was called Echmiadzin - Ijav Miatsin. Holy Etchmiadzin was originally a center of culture and education.
