About
Pilgrim Armenian Congregational Church, Fresno
Armenia is mentioned twice in the Bible. First, in Genesis 7:41, then Genesis 9:20-21. After the Great Flood, Noah’s Ark rested on Mount Ararat, which is the center of historic Armenia. After Noah got out, he planted a vineyard and made wine. He drank of it and got drunk. Today, Armenia is still famous for its wine and cognac. The second reference to Armenia in the Bible is found in Jeremiah 51:27. The prophet predicts the downfall of the Babylonian Empire, The kingdoms with-in the empire and their neighbors will rise against her and destroy her. Among them are mentioned Ararat, Minni, and Ashkanaz which are parts of Armenia.
