Armenian Martyrs in Image and Text

Thursday, November 7, 2024

7:00-8:45 PM

St. Nersess Armenian Seminary will host a special public lecture by Dr. Ani Shahinian, Assistant Professor of the Grace and Paul Shahinian Lectureship in Armenian Christian Art and Culture, due to high-level interest in her exclusive designed course on Armenian Christian Martyrs and Martyrdom in Image and Text.

Christian Martyrdom and the Christian witness in Armenia’s history had taken a unique shape throughout history. In this lecture, we will study Armenian martyrs incorporating images, material culture, and texts to broaden the access to the history, memory, and experience of martyrdom.

We will explore the role of martyrdom in shaping Christian identity, particularly, Armenian Christianity, and the development of the universal church in Armenia.
