Summary

Description
Español: Vista de Khor Virap, un monasterio armenio y uno de los lugares de Armenia al que acuden más peregrinos, situado en la llanura de Ararat con el bíblico monte Ararat en el fondo. Khor Virap se ha convertido en un centro de peregrinación debido a que Gregorio I el Iluminador, líder religioso que convirtió a la entoncesArmenia pagana al Cristianismo en 301, primer país en adoptar el Cristianismo como religión oficial, estuvo encarcelado en el monasterio 14 años por orden del rey Tiridates III de Armenia. La primera capilla la mandó construir Nerses III el Constructor en 642 como muestra de veneración de San Gregorio. Con el tiempo se ha sometido a varias reconstrucciones, la última de ellas en 1662.
English: View of Khor Virap, an Armenian monastery and one of the most visited pilgrimage sites in Armenia located in the Ararat plain with Mount Ararat in the background. Khor Virap's notability as a monastery and pilgrimage site is due to the fact that Gregory the Illuminator, religious leader who converted Armenia from paganism to Christianity in 301, becoming the first nation to adopt Christianity as its official religion, was initially imprisoned here for 14 years by King Tiridates III of Armenia. A chapel was initially built in 642 by Nerses III the Builder as a mark of veneration to Saint Gregory. Over the centuries, it was repeatedly rebuilt and the current appearance dates from 1662.
Deutsch: Ansicht des armenischen Klosters Chor Virap. Das Kloster ist eine der am meisten besuchten Pilgerstätten in Armenien und liegt am Fuße des im Hintergrund sichtbaren Berges Ararat. Der Legende nach wurde hier Gregor der Erleuchter, durch dessen Wirken Armenien im Jahr 301 als erstes Land das Welt das Christentum als offizielle Religion annahm, für 13 Jahre durch König Trdat (Tiridates) III. von Armenien gefangengehalten. Durch Katholikos Nerses III., „den Erbauer“, wurde im Jahr 642 eine Kapelle zur Verehrung des heiligen Gergor erbaut. Über die Jahrhunderte wurde das Bauwerk wiederholt erneuert. Die heutige Form stammt aus dem Jahr 1662. Kloster Chor Virap spielt eine bedeutende Rolle im armenischen Nationalbewusstsein. Dies ist die zum Berg Ararat nächstgelegenen Stelle auf armenischem Gebiet. Der Ararat, der Nationalberg der Armenier, der auch im Wappen Armeniens abgebildet ist, liegt seit 1921 auf türkischem Staatsgebiet.
Polski: Widok na Chor Wirap, ormiański klasztor położony na równinie Araratu oraz jedno z najczęściej odwiedzanych przez pielgrzymów miejsc w Armenii. W tle widoczny jest Wielki Ararat. Znaczenie Chor Wirap jako klasztoru i celu pielgrzymek wynika z tego, że Grzegorz Oświeciciel, przywódca religijny, który doprowadził do nawrócenia Armenii z pogaństwa na chrześcijaństwo w 301 roku, czyniąc ją pierwszym państwem, które przyjęło chrześcijaństwo jako oficjalną religię, był w tym miejscu więziony przez 14 lat przez króla Tiridatesa III. Pierwszą kaplicę, jako wyraz szacunku dla św. Grzegorza Oświeciciela, zbudował tutaj w 642 roku Narses III Budowniczy. Przez wieki klasztor wielokrotnie przebudowywano, a obecny wygląd zawdzięcza przebudowie z 1662 roku.

العربية: منظر بالقرب من دير خور فيراب، وهو دير نصراني وأحد الأماكن المسيحية في أرمينيا التي يقصدها أكبر عدد من الحجاج المسيحيين، ويقع في سهل أرارات الموجود في الخلفية، أصبح خور فيراب مركزًا للحج بسبب غريغوري الأوَّل، الزعيم الديني الذي اعتنق المسيحية عام 301م، والذي قام بتحويل أرمينيا إلى المسيحية، وبالتي تُصبح أرمينيا أول بلد يتبنى المسيحية كدين رسمي، وقد سُجن في الدير لمدة 14 عاماً بأمر من الملك آنذاك. أمر ببناء الكنيسة الأولى من قبل في عام 642 كعلامة على تبجيل القديس غريغوريوس. مع مرور الوقت، خضعت للعديد من عمليات إعادة البناء، آخرها في عام 1662.
