The history of Christianity in Azerbaijan dates back to the II century. The first preacher of Christianity is considered the disciple of the holy Apostle Thaddeus - Saint Elisha.

@aghavalyan And already at the beginning of the IV century. Albanian kings adopt Christianity as their state religion. Since the IV century. the church in Albania becomes autocephalous, with its own monastic institution, worship, and dogma.

@aghavalyan The existence of Christian churches and monasteries in Caucasian Albania is contained in early medieval written sources, in particular in the works of the Albanian historians Moses Kalankatui and Kirakos Gandzak.

@aghavalyan Christian churches as such began to be built from the period of official approval of Christianity as a state religion, i.e. from the IV-V centuries. AD During the construction of the temple, certain concepts are followed.

@aghavalyan The composition of the development follows from west to east, from the entrance to the altar.The first room - the porch - means peace.This is followed by the main volume - the nave. The most important part of the temple is the altar with a throne.
