Today, on July 1, the Armenian Church celebrates the Day of Remembrance of the Holy King Trdat, Queen Ashkhen and Virgin Khosrovidukht, reminds Qahana.am .
The Armenian king Trdat Arshakuni was the first in the world to adopt Christianity as the state religion of his country (301). Next to his name, history also mentions the names of Queen Ashkhen and his sister, the virgin Khosrovidukht.
It was thanks to a dream that Khosrovidukht dreamed that St. Gregory the Illuminator was released from imprisonment in the monastery of Khor Virap and began to spread the light of Christ on the Armenian land. As Agafangelos testifies, together with the king of the Thirties, Queen Ashkhen and the Virgin Khosrovidukht go out to meet St. Gregory the Illuminator, returning from Caesarea, and receive baptism in the waters of Aratsani. In the future, they participate in the construction of the Holy Etchmiadzin.
The Armenian Church celebrates the Day of Remembrance of the Holy King Trdat, Queen Ashkhen and Virgin Khosrovidukht on the fourth Saturday after Pentecost.
