Armenia – Ancient History and Modern Traditions - Part 2
Joseph visits ancient burial sites, historic churches as well as the markets and homes of present-day Armenians. He joins in religious and communal celebrations which offer a view into the Armenian heart and soul. Every archeological site offers viewers insights into how the Armenians of the distant and near past lived — and what we discover together are mirrors that reflect on the present.
