Սուրբ Սաղմոսավանքն արդեն զանգեր ունի
Զանգերի ղողանջն այսուհետ կտարածվի ոչ միայն Արագածոտնի թեմի Սաղմոսավան գյուղում, այլև գեղատեսիլ կիրճի ողջ երկայնքով, որտեղ 4-րդ դարում ճգնարան է ունեցել Սուրբ Գրիգոր Լուսավորիչը: Դժվար է ասել, թե երբ է անհետացել 800 տարեկան Սաղմոսավանքի զանգը: Այսօր վանքում նոր զանգեր են տեղադրվել:
St. Saghmosavank now with new church bells
The bell ring will from now on be heard not only in Saghmosavan village of Aragatsotn Diocese, but also along the entire picturesque canyon, where St. Gregory the Illuminator used to have a hermitage in the IV century. It’s hard to say when the bell of 800 years old Saghmosavank disappeared. Today new bells were installed in the Monastery.

Best Tour Operator:
Tatev Monastery is located in the center of the Syunik region in southern Armenia, 30 km from the city of Goris near the village of Tatev, on the right, high bank of the Vorotan river. Before climbing this breathtaking height, one must descend into the five-hundred-meter Vorotan Canyon, stop at the Devil's Bridge, near the warm baths of mineral springs, where the two banks of the river converge and then, opening with each turn of the road uniquely beautiful landscape, get out of him.
The strategic location on the cape formed by the deep, rocky slopes of the river gorge favored the creation of a powerful defensive complex here.
Tatev Monastery got its name in honor of St. Eustatius: a disciple of the Apostle Thaddeus, who preached, like his teacher, Christianity, and who was martyred for the new faith, in the Syunik region of historical Armenia. The first church of the Monastery of Tatev was built in the X century. At this time a small number of monks lived in the Tatev Monastery. Tatev becomes the residence of the Bishops of Syunik in the thirteenth century.
Prince Philippos of Syunik built the church of St. Grigor Lusavorich in 848 (St. Gregory the Illuminator), he also donated the village of Tatev to the monastery.
The largest church of Tatev Monastery complex was built in 906: the Surb Pogos and Petros Cathedral (St. Paul and Peter), under the auspices of Syunik prince Ashot and his wife Princess Shushan. The architecture of the cathedral is somewhat archaic. It reproduces the type of domed basil of the XII century. However, it also has new side-chapels in the western part of the cathedral, the corners of which are used as dome supports.
Surb Grigor Lusavorich (St. Gregory the Illuminator) church adjoins the south side of the main cathedral. Surb Grigor Lusavorich church was built in 848, but rebuilt anew with the assistance of the King Smbat II of Syunik in 1047.
Among the unique works of architecture and engineering art in Armenia is Gavazan (walking stick), erected in 904 in the courtyard, near the residential premises of Tatev Monastery. This is an octahedral 8m high pillar, built of small stones, culminating in an ornamented cornice above which rises a khachkar. Under the influence of seismic vibrations of the soil and, even, from the simple touch of a human hand, the pole, thanks to the hinge joint, bends and returns to its original position.
Among the rare examples of Armenian architecture is the Gate Church of Surb Astvatsatsin built in 1087, representing a small domed hall with niches on all, except for the west, facades with a pointed umbrella overlap.
Tatev Monastery was attacked and plundered by Seljuk Turks in 1171, they set fire to more than ten thousand manuscripts.
The University of Tatev which was the largest center of philosophical and scientific thought of medieval Armenia operated in 1390-1435. The university was headed by prominent public figures Hovhan Vorotnetsi and Grigor Tatevatsi, who united the best intellectual forces of the Armenian people around the university.
The monastery of Geghard Armenia Գեղարդ
The monastery of Geghard (Armenian: Գեղարդ, meaning spear) is a unique architectural construction in the Kotayk province of Armenia, being partially carved out of the adjacent mountain, surrounded by cliffs. It is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.While the main chapel was built in 1215, the monastery complex was founded in the 4th century by Gregory the Illuminator at the site of a sacred spring inside a cave.
Feast of Holy Resurrection in Artik Detention Facility
The Prison Ministry of the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin led by Rev. Fr. Rouben Zargaryan, organized a celebration of the Feast of the Holy Resurrection in the Artik Detention Facility. Holy Liturgy was celebrated in St. Gregory the Illuminator Church, which has been built on the grounds of the facility.

Khor Virap - The most popular destinations in Armenia
The Khor Virap is an Armenian monastery located in the Ararat plain in Armenia, near the closed border with Turkey. The monastery was host to a theological seminary and was the residence of Armenian Catholicos.
Khor Virap's notability as a monastery and pilgrimage site is attributed to the fact that Gregory the Illuminator was initially imprisoned here for 13 years by King Tiridates III of Armenia. Saint Gregory subsequently became the king's religious mentor, and they led the proselytizing activity in the country. In the year 301, Armenia was the first country in the world to be declared a Christian nation. A chapel was initially built in 642 at the site of Khor Virap by Nerses III the Builder as a mark of veneration to Saint Gregory. Over the centuries, it was repeatedly rebuilt. In 1662, the larger chapel known as the St. Astvatsatsin (Holy Mother of God) was built around the ruins of the old chapel, the monastery, the refectory and the cells of the monks. Now, regular church services are held in this church. It is one of the most visited pilgrimage sites in Armenia.
