Echmiadzin was founded by King Vagarshak (117-140) in the place of Vardkesavan, an ancient settlement of the third century B.C. The word "Echmiadzin" means The coming of the only-begotten, and the cathedral was built on the very spot Grigor Luysavorich (St. Gregory the Illuminator) dreamt Jesus Himself descended to from heaven to show him where He wanted the church to be built.
