The '''Church of Armenia''', sometimes called the '''Armenian Apostolic Church''' or the '''Armenian Orthodox Church''' is one of the [[Oriental Orthodox]] churches. It [[schism|separated]] from the [[Orthodox Church|Eastern Orthodox Church]] in AD 506, after the [[Fourth Ecumenical Council|Council of Chalcedon]] (AD 451).
[[liturgy|Liturgically]], the Church has much in common with the [[Roman Catholic Church]]. For example, their bishops wear vestments almost identical to those of Western bishops. The Armenian Apostolic Church should not, however, be confused with the [[Armenian Catholic Church]], which is in [[Uniate|union]] with the Roman Catholic Church. They also typically do not use a full [[iconostasis]], but rather a curtain.
