Teutonic Knight Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 Armenians were Christians long before the official date.The only and official date of the full conversion of the entire nation is 301 AD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightOfArmenia Posted October 7, 2003 Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 No, TK. There was just recently a congress in Armenia that my professor, Levon Marashlian, attended; there is a lot of evidence that the nation converted in 305 AD. Either way, it was the first Christian nation in the world; the exact date is still hotly contested, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellthecat Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 Hello Forum, I have heard different dates that Armenia converted to Christianity as a nation. I would like to know what dates the members of this forum know. Not that old chestnut again! I think this has all been fully covered in a previous thread about two years ago. 306AD is the most likely date, but it may have been later.

In my book, the date stands at 301 a.d. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
