Armenian Apostolic Holy Church The Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin

This year marks the 12th anniversary of the rededication of Saint Hakob Church of Vardenis community of Aragatsotn Diocese. On that occasion, the Gospel, known for many miracles and healings, was brought to the church from the Holy Narek chapel. The holy book was published in 1710. The people called it Papei Narek because the book was preserved by members of the Papei clan. Currently, the Gospel has been returned to the village, and is finally resting in the Saint Narek Chapel of Vardenis, under special protection.
