These are some really cool photos and a truly unique looking church. I love all of the intricate designs painted on the walls, with each row being completely distinctive and interesting. It almost doesn't feel like all of these design styles should fit together, but they really are captivating to look at. I don't think I have ever seen Armenian written out before, but the lettering looks so ancient, and is really fascinating to see.

I really love the way the language looks, especially the more traditional type. Even the Soviets copied that and would portray it in a rounded fashion on their posters, even going as far as using the blue tone of colour. There's definitely this mystical feeling to it in older places though, like you said the ancient look. Especially in the older Roman churches which remain around the nation
I have only visited a few of the really old Roman churches, but I have found them all to be quite unique. They usually seem cozier on the inside, and you see more abstract designs, as with the Seraphim. I find the older they are the more fascinating to me. Some day I would really like to visit Armenia, as I feel there are many cool ancient places to see in this part of the world.
