Abstract

The article analyzes the character of historical links of the Armenian colonies in Ukraine with the Holy Land. Documentary sources about the Ukrainian Armenians' contacts with Palestine appeared only in the XI century. This information could be thematically divided into records about the Crusaders in the context of the history of the Armenian colonies in Ukraine and information about the members of the Armenian Diaspora of Ukraine who had taken pilgrimage to Jerusalem, that can be obtained in records about certain members of the Armenian diaspora, in books of travelers and various epigraphic material.
