Arpi was born and raised in Jerusalem. Growing up in the Old City of Jerusalem in the Armenian Quarter, she encountered pilgrims from across the world. After leading both in-person and virtual pilgrimages herself, Arpi was inspired by the pilgrims’ faith and decided to establish a pilgrimage ministry. Through Holy Land Lights, Arpi desires to educate the faithful about the Holy Land through a local’s point of view via in person, virtual, and social media pilgrimage.
