Armenian Chuches

[irlandahay]

i'm getting a little frustrated!

 

for art class, we have a big project (yes you all...i am an artist, feel free to brag to your friends at how you know a soon to be world famous artist ) and that project is about our origins. iv already worked on my irish side of the family. but now i want to do the armenian side. il show you the project once im done.

 

but the reason why i am posting, ids because i am trying to find some armenian churches, like nice old ones. to draw from my project! BUT I CANT FIND WHAT IM LOOKING FOR!!! UGH!!!

 

will anyone care to help me?...please?

 

your irish freind

You can start by saying that being Armenian is not mere nationality but most of all a TITLE!
