Whenever visiting the "Echmiadzin Monastery" complex in Vagharshapat, you cannot miss the "Alex and Marie Manoogian Treasury House Museum". This is simply the treasury of the "Mother See of Holy Echmiadzin". With funds provided by the "Mannogian Family", the museum opened its doors in 1982. The building, a fine example of modern Armenian architecture, houses a huge collection of valuable religious articles belonging to the Armenian Apostolic Church. Among them, the precious relic of the "Holy Spear". According to legends, the spear which wounded Jesus Christ at the Crucifixion was brought by Saint Jude Thaddeus to Armenia and was kept at the "Geghardavank Monastery" (literally, "The Monastery of the Spear"), now known as "Geghard Monastery" (in Geghard), before being transferred to Echmiadzin. Take your time and stroll along crosses, chlalices, reliquaries, embroidered vestments, lanterns, carpets and so on. As the "Cathedral of Echmiadzin" is presently closed for renovations (and probably until 2022), the "Alex and Marie Manoogian Treasury House Museum" is the main attraction opened for visitors at the complex. Enjoy!
