The Church of Shoghakat (Armenian: Շողակաթ եկեղեցի; meaning drop of light because of the ray of light that came down from heaven upon Hripsimé’s martyrs) was erected in 1694 by Prince Aghamal Sorotetsi during the time of Catholicos Nahabed I in the present day city of Vagharshapat (Etchmiadzin) in the Armavir Province of Armenia. This church together with other nearby sites is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
