The Mekhitarist Congregation in Vienna
"Armenia in the Heart of Vienna" tour is an incredibly effective way to a greater understanding of the role that the Mekhitharist Order played and plays in the Armenian and Austrian legacy and how for nearly three centuries the Armenian Mekhitharist Order has been noted for its invaluable intellectual and scholarly achievements and for its (function, considerable importance) role in the Renaissance of Armenian Culture in the nineteenth century, how they became "the first pioneers of Austrian Culture in the Orient".
A significant number of ancient and medieval manuscripts, coins, folk costumes, rugs, books, periodicals, and other items and intriguing individuals bring the past and present of Armenia to life in the heart of Austria during this tour. The participants of this incredible experience will explore and are challenged to ponder the meaning and the glory of the Mekhitharist Order.
