The St. Thaddeus Church, Armenian Apostolic church in Masis, Armenia.

The St. Thaddeus Church features a triple-stepped design with a 33-meter-high dome supported by semi-crossing arches and gradient-colored cladding.

The construction began in 2003 following a ground blessing ceremony by Catholicos Vazgen I in 1991, with completion and consecration in 2015.

The church includes a memorial fountain and a tuff stone khachkar placed in 2016 to commemorate 1.5 million Armenian Genocide victims.

The entrance contains a dedicated hall for candle lighting, allowing visitors to participate in traditional Armenian religious practices.

Thirty-three biblical commandments are inscribed on the surrounding walls, with the temple height symbolizing the years of Christ's life.
