Saint Hripsime Day
Description:
Conquered by the beauty of one of them named Hripsime, King Trdat III wished to possess it. The refusal of the virgin, who declared that she belonged to Christ, infuriated the king.
He ordered the murder of Hripsime, her mentor Gayane and their friends, who had made the same vow. After the execution of innocent Christians, Trdat became possessed by demons. From the demoniacness of the king healed Gregor the Illuminator who baptized him.
