I find it so interesting that they converted the pagan temple to a Christian one later on. I’m now interested in Queen Katranide.

As with most sacred and fortified sites across medieval Armenia, freestanding khachkars (cross-stones) and commemorative reliefs were erected on the grounds between the 9th and 13th centuries. In fact, one of the earliest known dated khachkars in Armenia (carved in 879 CE for Queen Katranide) originated in the village/complex of Garni.
