The Geghard Monastery, in Armenia.

St Shushanik Mamikonian (circa 440-475) is an Armenian martyr and saint of the Georgian Orthodox Church. The daughter of Armenian military commander(Sparapet) Vartan Mamikonian, Shushanik (Susanna) is the subject of the earliest existing literary work in Georgian.

You probably wouldn’t expect this… but one of the oldest Armenian churches in Western Europe is in Manchester 🇬🇧🇦🇲 Built in 1870 by Armenian traders, the Holy Trinity Armenian Church has stood for over 150 years as a quiet, but powerful symbol of diaspora life. From a small community, it became the spiritual center for Armenians across Great Britain—where the language is still spoken, traditions are kept alive, and identity is passed on. More than one century later, it still brings generations together, linking modern Armenian life in the UK with its 19th-century roots. A reminder that even a small diaspora can leave a lasting mark. 🎙️ Zartonk Host Liliana Abrahamian 🎥 German Ucar As part of Armenian Heritage Month, we’re highlighting the people, places, and stories that shape the Armenian experience.
