There are many legends connected to the old monastery and church of Nor Varagavanq in Tavush region. The locals tell that the ruined church and the small ditch running nearby have magic powers. Though the people living here are not rich and suffer from many problems, they still think that the church protects them. Today the monument from the 13th century is under reconstruction. But many local people fear that the works are not done properly and that the monastery might lose its previous look, as well as the legends and its supernatural power.
