The Armenian Apostolic Church (Armenian: Հայաստանեայց Առաքելական Եկեղեցի, Hayasdaneaytz Arakelagan Yegeghetzi) is the world's oldest national church[1][2] and one of the most ancient Christian communities.[3]
The official name of the church is the One Holy Universal Apostolic Orthodox Armenian Church [4]. It is sometimes referred to as the Armenian Apostolic Church, but the latter name is not preferred by the church, as it views the Apostles Bartholomew and Thaddeus as the founders, and St. Gregory the Illuminator as merely the first official head of the church.
