A brief history
A medieval Armenian Apostolic church in the city of Khoy, in West Azerbaijan province. Armenian sources know this region as Her, one of the old districts of Armenia, and the church is among the marks that history left on the ground here.
Saints & traditions
Sarkis is the Armenian form of Sergius, the same soldier-saint whose Aramaic name, Mar Sarkis, titles a monastery at Maaloula in Syria that this guide also documents.
