29 years ago, Catholicos Karegin I re-consecrated the Saint Hovhannes the Baptist Church of Melikgyogh, which had been desecrated for more than 60 years. It was built in 1891 by immigrants from Alashkert. In 1935, by order of the Kurdish authorities, it ceased to function and turned into a warehouse. This year, on the occasion of the re-consecration of the church, the relic of Hovhannes the Baptist was brought to the village for the first time and a festive liturgy was offered.
