Armenians are naturally very familiar with this nun-martyr as well...Saint Hripsime! She is one of the most beloved female saints in both the Armenian and Ethiopian Orthodox traditions.

I'm sure many non-Orthodox who saw yesterday's post regarding the recent concelebrated liturgy devoted to prayer for Artsakh thought, "Wow, how often does stuff like that happen?"
Quite often, in fact! Here are photos from a conference just a few weeks later in Manhattan, NY.
