All of the great and eventful events in the life cycle of a Christian Armenian such as birth, christening and marriage were celebrated and sanctified within the periphery of Armenia's Holy Apostolic Church. Traditionally, the Church took upon itself the function to fulfill the spiritual needs of an  Armenian. In the Middle Ages, the Church tried to reflect on the meaning of life and give answers to a soul-searching populace. Christian morality -- highly philanthropic -- was the ideal for the conduct, and the priest and monk was the shepherd of the devout Christian souls of the churchly flock. But Armenia's Holy Apostolic Church had even greater significance. The Church adopted many of the pre-Christian traditions [of fertility and Life], mores, and the ancient culture of the Armenian nation that were successfully absorbed and preserved. The Church became the intellectual center of the nation. At times of foreign yoke and oppression the Church became the symbol of the Armenian nation, Armenian sovereignty, and Armenian tenacious vigor and vivacity.
