A festive liturgy was held in St. Thaddeus Church of Masis

The Armenian Apostolic Church commemorated one of the founders of the church, Apostle Thaddeus and one of the first Christian martyrs, Virgin Sandukht. On that occasion, with the blessing of Karekin II, Catholicos of All Armenians, the relic of St. Thaddeus the Apostle was taken to St. Thaddeus Church. It was he who converted the virgin Princess Sandukht, who was imprisoned by her father, King Sanatruk, and then ordered to kill her. St. Sandukht is considered the first Armenian Christian martyr.
