Mkrtich Kheranyan

The priest's son Mkrtich Kheranyan considered the admission to the Gevorkian Theological Seminary the happiest and fateful moment of his life. He mastered the Armenian language so quickly and perfectly that he became a sought-after and beloved teacher. Kheranyan's books were consumed very quickly, became a film and a play, but the greatest achievement of his creative biography was the world translation of Grigor Narekatsi's poem "Book of Lamentation". The only one of the many translations that the Armenian Apostolic Church considered canonical and authorized the publication.
