"The Geghard of Fate" religious detective presented to the Armenians in Georgia by author

On October 21, 2024, at the "House of Hovhannes Tumanyan" Center for Science and Culture of the Armenian Diocese in Georgia, with blessings and good wishes of His Grace Bishop Kirakos Davtyan, Primate of the Armenian Diocese in Georgia, the presentation of "The Geghard of Fate" book took place. The focus of this book is on the historical adventurous events of the disappearance of the miraculous Geghard and its dangerous search.

The author of the book Ruben Margaryan, a lawyer, member of the Union of Writers of Russia, the head of the Legal Aid Center of the Armenian Diocese of Russia and New Nakhichevan, and the winner of the 2021 "Golden Pen" nomination at the National Competition in the field of advocacy was personally in attendance at the book presentation.

After the opening speech of the presentation and the Lord's Prayer, the author of the book presented his motivation for writing a novel in the genre of religious detective, and his decision to present the investigation of the search for the Geghard. Through his writing, he artistically revealed the phenomena and events that are documented in the history of the Armenian people's spiritual life.

Of course, the interest was great, which was clearly demonstrated by various questions addressed to the author, which were related to the main characters of "The Geghard of Fate" novel: the priest, deacon, and lawyer and their activities in Germany and France, as well as the heroes’ adventures in various churches and monasteries in Armenia.

Rev. Father Narek Ghushchyan, the pastor of the Saint Hovhannes church in Paris, who was present at the presentation, highlighted the author's idea to present the religious detective to the Armenian readers in Georgia, and the editor of the "Vrastan" (Georgia) newsletter Van Bayburtyan thanked the author for presenting his third book in Tbilisi as well along many other cities.

At the end of the event, Ruben Margaryan gifted attendees copies of his "The Geghard of Fate" book each with his autograph.
