Who is St. Ghevont? Bearing the cross for all to see, illuminating and blessing the army behind him and casting out the demons before him?
When St. Vartan and his knights marched against the Persians, they did not do so as heretics, but as battle ready Christians and martyrs, fully supported by the Armenian Apostolic Church, and neglected by its distant allies in the north where the council of Chalcedon was busy with definitions.
The Holy Armenian Apostolic Church declared war and marched against the enemies of God.
This is not one instance but one of many, throughout history of which we may not be aware.
The Armenian Apostolic Church is a warring heavenly body. It is not a coward but bears a cross as well as a sword, a shield and a helmet, and crown for those who are victors on earth as well as heaven.
