Visiting St. Gregory the Illuminator Cathedral in Yerevan was an unforgettable event for me. This majestic temple immediately struck me with its scale and beauty. There was an amazing atmosphere of peace and reverence inside, which allowed me to escape from the daily hustle and bustle and think about the eternal. The architecture of the cathedral is impressive: The combination of traditional Armenian elements and modern solutions makes it truly unique. I felt the history and spirituality of this place penetrate to the very depths of my soul. I am very glad that I visited this temple — it is really the pearl of Yerevan and the whole of Armenia.
The beautiful cathedral impresses with its size and unusual architecture. So powerful, minimalistic and stately, built for the ages. It is very unusual compared to Orthodox churches, a minimum of decoration and nothing distracts people from prayer.
There is a strong energy of this place inside, I strongly advise you to attend the service when the priest reads the prayer.
I am an unbeliever, but after visiting this place, I feel inner peace when I pass by, I definitely go in for at least 5 minutes.
