Christianity was considered pagan in many countries when it was first born, as was Armenia. Legend has it that after the first leader of the Armenian Apostolic Church (Armenian Apostolic Church), the Enlightener Gregory (Gregory the Illuminator), was an Armenian nobleman, his father Anag was executed for the assassination of Armenian King Khosrov II. St Gergory fled to Cappadocia, now in Turkey, where he was taken in and raised by Bishop St. Philmilien. St Gergory Returning to Armenian missionaries, who originated in Persia's Zoroastrian religion, St Gergory, who was considered pagan, was held by the then king Tiridates (Trdat) III in a deep well on a hill, leaving him to die. A villager who was influenced by St Gergory and believed in Christ secretly fed him every day, so he survived. Thirteen years later, the king was sick, and no one in the country could heal, and at this time the news of St Gergory's death came to the king, who thought that a miracle had been found and ordered the release of St Gergory, and the release of St Gergory cured the king's disease, and the king believed in Christ. And Christianity was designated as the state religion. So in 301 AD Armenia became the first country in the world to believe in Christ. In 642 AD, a monastery was built in memory of St Gergory, Khor Virap, on the deep well where he was held. Khor Virap means deep well in Armenian.
