Monastery Photos

So Armenia has monasteries. A lot of monasteries. Specifically old ones. Since it was the first country to convert to Christianity (301 A.D.), it is a pretty big part of the culture. Most of them were entirely made of stone and lit almost entirely by sunlight. There were far less decorated and grandious than European Catholic and Protestant churches, but it was much more calm and relaxing. Anyway, this is what they looked like.
