Amaras Monastery (Armenian: Ամարաս վանք) is one of the oldest Christian sites in Nagorno-Karabakh, and is an Armenian Apostolic monastery located near the village of Sos in the Martuni county of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. According to Armenia's 5th-century chronicler Faustus Byuzand, St. Gregory the Illuminator founded a church in what was to become Amaras Monastery at the start of the 4th century. At the beginning of the 5th century Mesrop Mashtots, the inventor of the Armenian Alphabet, established in Amaras the first-ever school that used his script. Amaras was the burial place of St. Gregory the Illuminator's grandson, St. Grigoris (died in 338). A tomb built for his remains still survives under the apse of the 19th-century church of St. Grigoris. #Alto_Karabaj #Armenia #armenian #armenien #armenio #Artsakh #chiesa #christian #church #cristiano #Dağlıq_Qarabağ #eglise #Gharabagh #Haiastan #iglesia #igreja #igrexa #Karabakh #kirche #martuni #medieval #monasterio #monastery #mosteiro #NagornoKarabakh #Oriental #Orthodox #ortodoxo #temple #templo #Vahe #Амарас #Армения #Арцах #Карабах #Монастырь #Нагорный_Карабах #церковь #Ամարաս #Արցախ #եկեղեցի #Լեռնային_Ղարաբաղ #Հայաստան #վանք
