Церковь In Armenia is an ancient form of Eastern Christian worship that dates back to at least the 4th century. It is an independent branch of Eastern Orthodoxy, a branch of Christianity practiced in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. It is one of the four main churches of the Oriental Orthodox communion, and the national church of Armenia. Armenian churches are found throughout the country and around the world, particularly in North America and Europe. The church is known for its strong emphasis on the authority of scripture and traditions of the early church Fathers. Many of its practices and rituals are ancient, while others are more recent innovations, shaped by the culture of Armenia. The most important festivals and life cycle events are celebrated with hymns and prayers that incorporate pre-Christian and traditional Armenian elements. Prayer and worship are also central to Armenian spirituality. The church is an important source of Armenian national identity and is deeply associated with the history, culture and language of the Armenian people. It also plays an important role in Armenian culture and society by providing education, charitable services, and social events. The church has a missionary tradition, and its priests often serve outside of Armenia. The Armenian Apostolic Church is a member of the World Council of Churches and the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople.
