Today, the Church celebrates [tag]Gregory the Illuminator[/tag], Bishop and Missionary of [tag]Armenia[/tag]. History says that he was responsible to convert the local pagan King, who was so excited for his newfound religion, that he made it a national religion. Thus, the Church was birthed in Armenia in 301 AD, making it the oldest Church in the world. Of course, faith existed way before Greg–Bartholomew and Thaddeus (two of Jesus’s twelve disciples-turned-apostles brought the gospel to Armenia*). Today, give thanks for the Armenian(s) in your life

* Now I know that history will never prove what ever happened to Bart and Thad, but I say it’s brilliant for Armenians to have picked and claimed the two disciples we know the least about… Kinda hard to disprove, isn’t it!?!
