Armenians managed to survive until our days leaving their traces through the centuries even though they were trapped between opposite ideologies and religions, they lived through expeditions, persecutions, exiles until the Genocide of 1915 when they were banished from their homeland and forced to live with other nations, some of them hospitable and some not.
Despite the difficulties, they survived through the centuries keeping their religion, their language and culture and passing them by to the next centuries. They survived as a nation as their first concern was to build churches and schools and raise their children around them.
On the hospitable greek land we can see armenian churches built with great effort and sacrifice a little time after the refugees were set in Greece. The churches were not only places of adoration but also schools, cultural centres and meeting point of the Armenians.
All the churches mass until our days being both adoration places and keeping the armenian spirit live.
