| | ARMENIANS (September 8, 1987) |
 | | The Armenian Church is frequently considered by the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches to be monophysite, along with the Coptic, Abyssinian, Syriac, and Indian churches, which as a group are often called the Lesser Orthodox Churches. |
 | | The Armenian priests, as typical in the Eastern Church, are divided into the monastic and parish clergy, with all the hierarchs coming from the former group. |
 | | This last Armenian kingdom fell in 1375; and the last Armenian king, Leo [Levon] V (VI), died in exile (1393) in France and is buried in the abbey church of Saint Denis, next to the tombs of the French kings to whom he was related. |
