Dadivank Monastery
With the impending encroachment of Azerbaijani forces, Christians in the Karabakh region of Armenia are now torching their homes and removing crosses from their churches as they await the inevitable arrival of their enemies.
Prominent amongst these is the monastery at Dadivank. The monastery was constructed between 1000 AD and 1300. After retrieving the church in 1994, Armenians had carried out extensive renovations upon it, to its various frescoes especially.
Now, despite defiance, the bells, the stonework and the frescoes are being transported to Armenia for safekeeping.
This is a sad time for the Armenian people and for all Christians. It is yet another reminder of where we are headed as a world, with non Christians becoming increasingly militant and intolerant towards our existence. It’s very important to keep tuned out from mainstream media lest we think that their views are reflective of reality across the world.
