"NEW ARMENIA" HSC NGO
Love is immeasurable: as long as it is measurable, it is egocentric. But one learns how to
Love also, step by step, becoming more and more open to infinity. Maybe it so happened that
we have learned to love and devote ourselves to our Homeland...
Often it seems that the world is so simplified, everything seems to be defined ... but
suddenly you take a turn from the crossroad by a narrow path and inadvertently end up in the
Wonderland, where since ancient times kind and evil spirits continue to live.
Pilgrimages to holy places – unfortunately perhaps forgotten and unknown to us, the
Armenians, - in different regions of Armenia are a part of our daily life. And the purpose of each
pilgrimage is to pray for the spiritual development and awakening of Armenia, Armenians and all
living beings.
"Armenia - the Land of Churches" project
Armenia is an ancient country with a long history of ups and downs. The Republic of Armenia, being considered a
3rd world country,
is known for its sad chapters: genocide of Armenians by Osman Empire in 1915, economic crisis, social injustice,
and the high rate of emigration. But, on the other hand, Armenia is not only one of the oldest countries, rich
in
archaeological sites, but also the first in the world adopted Christianity as a state religion ...
and even at the small rest of this great land hundreds of churches are scattered, making our homeland itself a
shrine,
a place of pilgrimage.
The idea of the Project is quite simple: to provide signposts of Churches on highways of Armenia – thus
promoting familiarization of Armenians and guests of Armenia with the spiritual heritage of our motherland.
We ask Armenian Communities all over the world to join the project!
