CATHEDRAL IN RESIDENCE OF PRINCE

Social


The holy table and basin of the newly built St. Stepanos cathedral were blessed in the Nerkin Getashen district of the Gegharkunik diocese. The construction of the cathedral was undertaken by the children of the Aveyan family of the district.

The cathedral is located in the territory of the Kot city, which used to be the residence of the prince of Gegharkunik. The Kot settlement was an important junction from the Ararat field to Artsakh and the roads leading to Partav. The authors of the last century remembered the ruins of the seven churches of which the biggest and most notable is St. Virgin Mary (or Kotavank).

After the blessing ceremony, a song and dance celebration took place with the initiative of the village council and benefactors.
