"Treasures of Armenian Jerusalem: The Crown Jewels of our National Inheritance" by Bedross Der Matossian is featured on Armenian General Benevolent Union (AGBU) WebTalks.

Description

Outside Armenia, nowhere are so many priceless Armenian cultural and religious treasures more abundant than in the Armenian quarter of Jerusalem. Nestled within the Old City, around the Armenian convent of St James, the quarter is famous for its remarkable collection of religious art, ancient manuscripts, and marvels of Armenian artifacts. 

Protecting these treasures and Armenian-owned properties in what is the most contested city in the world is essential to ensure that future generations can appreciate Armenian Jerusalem's early Christian roots and deep imprint in the Holy Land. It tells a powerful story of the resilience of a people and their faith across the ages.
