Christianity came to Armenia in the first century. Armenia became the first country to adopt Christianity in 301. It is called the apostalic church because 2 of Jesus' followers, Barthalomew and Thaddeus. The seat of the church is at Ejmiatsin. There the Katholikos (or pope) resides. Ejmiatsin was not destroyed by the Soviets as were most of the Armenian churches, though the church was not allowed to function.
