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.
This temple was built recently and illuminated in 2001, but today it is the largest temple in Yerevan and the second largest in Transcaucasia. Outside and inside it is quite simple without murals, but cute and cozy. The windows are decorated with stained glass windows on Biblical themes, inside it is decorated with arches and niches.
This is probably my favorite church. Beautiful surroundings and a cluster structure both outside and inside. The priests are kind and sympathetic. You can directly approach and ask to consecrate the crosses. No one will refuse you this request

Everything is very good and neat. Everything has been done for believers. A lot of people come here on holidays and Sundays. It was a pleasure.
Interesting architecture, there are places to sit inside, quietly, calmly.
There are no icons and gold inside, everything is in stone, which is unusual for Russian residents.
A beautiful and peaceful place, even for non-believers it will be interesting to visit this temple.
The cathedral is very large - if it is interesting to attend the divine service, without pushing or disturbing the worshippers, this is an ideal option. There was enough room for everyone even for Christmas 🎄
The presence of the Holy Spirit in this cathedral does not allow, I want to come to the Temple of God again and again! A holy place!
God bless, save and preserve the Cathedral of Grigor Luysavonich, all parishioners and the holy land, and the people on this earth!!!
