Hovhannavank Monastery

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Hovhannavank (Armenian: Հովհաննավանք, short for Armenian: Սուրբ Յովհաննես Կարապետ վանք, Surb Hovhannes Vank) is an Armenian Apostolic Church monastery located in the village of Ohanavan in the Aragatsotn Province of Armenia. It is situated atop a steep gorge carved by the Kasagh river. The monastery's title originates from the combination of the name Hovhan (Armenian for Jonah) and the word "vank," which in Armenian means "monastery." The monastery was dedicated to John the Baptist, whom Armenians venerate as their patron-saint. The monastery stands on the edge of the Qasakh River Canyon, and its territory is adjacent to the village of Ohanavan.
