Kim’s ties to Armenia has been especially evident as of late.
Earlier this month, her family traveled to Armenia, where Kim, Psalm, 5 months, Saint, 3½, and Chicago, 20 months, werebaptized at Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin in Vagharshapat, Armenia.
The mother of four documented the occasion on Instagram, starting with images of herself and North, 6, inside the Etchmiadzin Cathedral in Vagharshapat.
Kim wore a long-sleeved, mermaid-style dress for the important occasion, while North sported a long white two-piece outfit and an intricately beaded necklace. The two stood in front of a collection of lit candles for the serene photos ops.
“Thank you Armenia for hosting my family and I in such a memorable trip,” shecaptioned the post. “So blessed to have beenbaptized along with my babiesat Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin, Armenia’s main cathedral which is sometimes referred to as the Vatican of the Armenian Apostolic Church. This church was built in 303 AD.”
