San Lazzaro degli Armeni | Venice for Visitors

http://europeforvisitors.com/venice/articles/san_lazzaro_degli_armeni.htm

San Lazzaro degli Armeni: 35 monks, seminarians, and Armenian students live on a monastery island in the Venetian lagoon that once served as a leper colony for Venice.

Its establishment as an Armenian monastery by Mechitar confirms that Armenians within the Ottoman Empire were subject to oppression long before the Empire's last dance with death.

Between childhood, boyhood,
adolescence
& manhood (maturity) there
should be sharp lines drawn w/
Tests, deaths, feats, rites
stories, songs & judgements
