David and Narine in Armenia, 2.-12. Juli 2012

Excursion to the Monastery Tatev, July 7, 2012

Legend:
When the construction of the monastery was finished, the bricklayer master mason asked his workers to bring him two chips. Getting the chips the master kissed them and said: "Let the Holy Spirit give a wing" ("Hogin surb ta tev"). At that very moment, a pair of wings appeared on his shoulders and the mater flew away. By the words of the master the monastery was called Tatev.
