Zoravor Surp Astvatsatsin Church (Armenian: Սուրբ Զօրաւոր Աստուածածին Եկեղեցի; previously Surp Astvatsatsin) is one of the oldest churches of Yerevan. At first, it was called 'Surp Astvatsatsin', but later it was renamed 'Surp Zoravor', most probably in the honour of Saint Vartan Mamikonian . The church is located in the Shahar District of Old Yerevan where the tomb and the Chapel of Ananias the Apostle were previously located. This chapel was looked upon as a famous sanctuary.
