Masruts Cloister

RA (Republic of Armenia) / Gegharkunik / Dzoragyugh

Inscription, Armenian, Engraved, Construction 1611 y․

Gharamurat Armenians occasionally worked in the adjacent and remote villages. With this regard, an inscription commemorating the overhaul implemented in Masruts Monastery, dating from the 9th to 10th centuries and located at the eastern edge of Dzoragyugh (formerly Shoghaga) Village of Gegharkunik Marz (Republic of Armenia), in 1611 is of special interest: 5 lines in the Armenian original engraved on the eastern wall of the monastery:
May you pray for Gharamurat inhabitant Panos, who contributed to the repairs of the church in perpetuation of his parents’ and his memory.
