Kaghtsrahayats Sp. Asdvadzadzin vank of Havav - The village of Havav, now called Ekinözü, is in the district of Palu and was a major Armenian center prior to the genocide. The church of Sp. Gatoghige was one of two churches in the village. Outside the village, on a hill, was the monastery of Kaghtsrahayats Sp. Asdvadzadzin, translated as the monastery which looks out sweetly. It served as the seat of the Prelate of the Palu diocese and am important gathering on the Ascension day. The photographs were taken in May 2012. Only the first picture of the slide show is my own, all other photographs were taken by Steve Mesrobian.
