martha hananian Posted April 15, 2002 Report Share Posted April 15, 2002 Has anyone ever heard of an Armenian Church in northern Ireland? When they were renovating a church in Northern Ireland, they went down into the lower section of church and found a forgotten door. Behind the door was either an Armenian Chapel or an old church. Is this true? Any history buffs know about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azat Posted April 15, 2002 Report Share Posted April 15, 2002 Vart, send a PM to Bellthecat(steve) he would know if it is true or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellthecat Posted April 15, 2002 Report Share Posted April 15, 2002 I've heard nothing. But I doubt if this is true. Why would there be an ancient Armenian church in Ireland? Although it depends what you mean by "ancient" - maybe it is just about possible if it was from the 19th century. But unlikely - after all, places like Manchester and London had Armenian populations at that time but did not have their own churches until the 20th century.

SteveSorry, not quite correct! There was a church built in 1870 in Manchester - but it looks (from the outside anyway) just like a typical Victorian church. Before that they rented space in another church (from 1863). Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghos Posted April 15, 2002 Report Share Posted April 15, 2002 Steve, What is the story of the Armenian Churches in Iceland, if any ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khodja Posted April 15, 2002 Report Share Posted April 15, 2002 Delve into the history of the beginnings of Christianity in Ireland and you will learn that one of the first Christians preaching in Ireland was an Armenian. However, he was preaching the TRUE Christianty, which had taken hold in Armenia. The Irish maintained this true Chrisytianity far longer than othr parts of Western Europe, succumbing to the fraudulent Christianity practiced today at a much later date. I have no doubt that this tale of the ancient church could be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
