Description

The official name of the church is Surb Astvatsatsin, but it is known to the locals as the Seven Wounds in honor of the painting of the Virgin Mary, which was moved here from Surb Nshan Church.  The icon was taken from the Hasankala fortress town of Verin Basen in 1832 by the head of the monastery Poghos Janlatyan to Marmashen monastery. 1832 Considering that the Marmashen monastery is located near the border, it was decided to move the icon to Harichavank, but upon arriving in Gyumri, the locals did not allow the icon to be taken to Harichavan and it remained in Gyumri.
