行程安排

1 停靠点 1 阿帕兰圣十字教堂

阿帕兰圣十字教堂始建于4世纪。它是曾经规模宏大的修道院建筑群中唯一流传至今的建筑。幸运的是，主体的圣十字教堂至今仍然矗立，其墙体可追溯到5世纪。数千年来，教堂及其周边一直是许多历史事件的中心。这里经历过战争、地震，也有过辉煌的时光。1877年，教堂屋顶得到修复；1959年，它又从仓库重新恢复为教堂。

2 停靠点 2 哈塔久赫的圣霍瓦内斯小礼拜堂

我们前往哈塔久赫，从这里开始朝圣并攀登斯尔比山顶。步行约一个半到两个小时后，我们到达圣霍瓦内斯小礼拜堂。根据传统，13世纪被带到这里的施洗者霍瓦内斯圣遗物供奉于此。这座小礼拜堂在苏联时期曾三次被炸毁，后得以重建，最后一次修缮是在1958年。自2005年以来，人们在小礼拜堂周围竖立了十字石碑，以纪念誓愿的实现。这个热门目的地每年都吸引着越来越多的朝圣者和游客。

3 停靠点 3 亚美尼亚字母纪念碑

此次行程的最后一站是亚美尼亚字母纪念碑。毕竟，全世界的字母体系不超过70种，其中之一就是亚美尼亚字母。亚美尼亚字母创建于405年，约1600年来始终与亚美尼亚人民密不可分。作为拥有自己文字的民族，亚美尼亚人在历史上创造并传播了数以千计的手稿、书籍和期刊。因此，在2005年，为纪念字母创制1600周年，人们建造了这座字母纪念碑。38个字母以雕塑的形式矗立在阿拉加茨山坡上的一片小空地上，而字母后方则是亚美尼亚民族文化中最著名的人物：梅斯罗普·马什托茨和格里戈尔·卢萨沃里奇。
