EDITORS COMMENTS
This statue depicts Saint Gregory the Illuminator, also known as Saint Gregory the Enlightener, a pivotal figure in the early history of Christianity in Armenia. Born around 257 AD, Saint Gregory is believed to have been the first official head of the Armenian Apostolic Church. He is celebrated for his role in converting King Tiridates III of Armenia to Christianity in the early 4th century AD. The statue, located in St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City, showcases Saint Gregory as an elderly man with a long white beard, wearing the traditional miter and robe of a patriarch. He is depicted holding a large open book in one hand, symbolizing the Word of God, and a cross in the other, representing his role as a bishop and leader of the Church. A pigeon perches on his shoulder, which is a common symbol of the Holy Spirit in Christian art. Saint Gregory's significance extends beyond Armenia, as he is also considered a patron saint of converts and those suffering from mental and physical ailments. His legacy continues to inspire and influence the Armenian people and their rich religious heritage. This sculpture, a testament to the enduring impact of Saint Gregory's life and mission, is a must-see for anyone visiting St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City.
