Family is offering some candles in the Goshavank monastery, Armenia.


Goshavank meaning "Monastery of Gosh"; previously known as Nor Getik is a 12th- or 13th-century Armenian monastery located in the village of Gosh in the Tavush Province of Armenia. Today the monastery is not a functioning religious complex, although it remains a popular tourist destination and has recently undergone some light restoration. The impressive monastery which has remained in relatively good condition also houses one of the world's finest examples of a khachkar.
