Church building is of particular importance to the Tsarukyan family.

Perhaps it was because of their righteous conduct and compassion, that the Tsarukyan Family got God’s approval and blessings and began to build churches in their homeland. In recent years, the family has built and rebuilt 7 churches. Church of St. Mariam, the Mother of God in Arinj was the first that got a second breath thanks to the Tsarukyans’ charity. The church was built about 15 years ago and plays an important role in the region. It seems that the Holy Virgin from the height of the church has taken under her mighty wing all the Arinj and the protection of local residents. The Tsarukyans knowingly chose this place for the church. From the height of the church is visible the whole village, and ringing bells can be heard every morning from every corner of the village. After the construction of  St. Mariam’s church, on means of  the Tsarukyan family in 17 villages lacked of churches were established cross-stones as symbols of faith and Christian love.
