Here, everyone is welcome to explore the museum ‘Treasures of Echmiatsin’ to view the Sacred Lance (Spear), traces linked to Apostles of Jesus and John the Baptist, and a piece of Noah’s Ark.
The Saint Hripsime Church, a 7th-century Armenian Apostolic Church was established by Catholicos Komitas on the burial site of the sacrificed Saint Hripsime, to whom the church is dedicated. The Saint Gayane Church, another 7th-century Armenian church situated in Etchmiadzin, was erected by Catholicos Ezra I in 630. The church, built in the location where Saint Gayane was persecuted, is devoted to the abbess Gayane.
