Abstract
AbstractChristian presence in Armenia predates the establishment of Christianity as the official state religion. The Armenian Apostolic Church claims autocephaly, based on the alleged ministries in Armenia of the apostles Thaddaeus and Bartholomew. Thaddaeus is connected with the early Armenian version of the SyriacDoctrine of Addai, while Bartholomew's cult in Armenia dates from the 7th century. The story of the conversion by Thaddaeus of the late 1st century King Sanatruk, and that of the martyrdom of his daughter Sandukht, probably date from the 4th century.
