An international conference on the Armenian Christian tradition, from Late Antiquity to the modern era, convened in Rome on 24–25 May 2027.
Armenian Christianity: Space, Memory, & Faith brings together historians, theologians, philologists, art historians and jurists to trace the Armenian Christian tradition across its full arc, from the earliest witnesses in late antique Roman Armenia to the Cilician kingdom, the Mekhitarist encounter with European humanism, and the legal and ecclesiastical institutions that carried the tradition into the modern era.
