Our Favourite shots from our Armenian chapter.

For this chapter, we wanted every frame to feel unmistakably Armenian.

Mount Ararat. Khachkar carving. Lavash made by hand. Armenian ballet. Ancient textiles, traditional movement and symbols that have carried meaning for generations.

Christianity is deeply woven into Armenian identity, from its ancient churches and monasteries to the stone crosses carved into khachkars. Armenia was the first nation to adopt Christianity as a state religion, and that history is still visible everywhere.

We went deep into the details for this film, including UNESCO-recognized traditions, centuries-old crafts and cultural references that only make sense because of where we were. Nothing was chosen by accident.

Thank you to everyone who opened their doors, shared their history, their craft and their culture with us.

Կեցցե Հայաստանը 🇦🇲
Long live Armenia.

ARMENIA 🇦🇲 | DAY TWO

From the breathtaking landscapes of Khor Virap and the ancient ruins of Zvartnots to the art of lavash bread making and khachkar carving.

A day immersed in Armenian dance, craftsmanship and traditions passed down through generations.

The deeper we go, the more we discover. ❤️

After the persecution and displacement of Armenian Christians from Artsakh, places like this are helping families rebuild what war took away. Please don’t forget Armenia. 🇦🇲✝️ @savearmenia @saint.news.app @saintbyiradewitt

St. Hripsime chose Christ over a king, over comfort, and over her own life. This church stands where she was martyred in 301 AD, reminding the world that faith is worth everything @saintbyiradewitt @saint.news.app @savearmeniaus

A blessing at Holy Etchmiadzin.

On June 17, our delegation led by @drpmurray was received by His Holiness Karekin II, Catholicos of All Armenians, at the spiritual heart of the world's first Christian nation.

He blessed our team and thanked us for defending religious freedom and human dignity. We spoke about the families displaced from Artsakh, the prisoners held in Azerbaijan, and the heritage of seventeen centuries of Christian faith.

A real peace is built on justice. The first Christian nation must not stand alone.

As America marks 250 years, we stand with the nation that has been Christian for more than 1,700 years.

I interviewed Armenians whose lives were forever changed by war. The world’s first Christian nation lost Artsakh, ancient churches destroyed by an Islamist (secular) regime, and thousands of lives destroyed. Many told me the world’s silence left them feeling abandoned @saintbyiradewitt @savearmeniaus

Where it all began.

Our June 2026 delegation at Khor Virap, Mount Ararat behind us, standing on the ground where Armenia became the world's first Christian nation in 301 AD.

America turns 250 this year.
Their faith has stood for over 1,700 years.

Before Armenia became the first Christian nation, it worshipped here.

Perched above a dramatic canyon, Garni Temple is the only surviving Greco Roman temple in the Caucasus. Against all odds, it survived invasions, earthquakes, and nearly 2,000 years of history.

Most people come for the view. They leave thinking about how much history these stones have seen @savearmeniaus
