Mastara

Mastara (Armenian: Մաստարա) is a village in the Talin Municipality of the Aragatsotn Province of Armenia.

There is also the small medieval Tukh Manuk Church in the village to the southeast.

[2] The name Mastara is thought to be derived from the words mas, meaning "a piece", and tara, "I buried/took".

This comes from the popular legend that Gregory the Illuminator brought back relics of John the Baptist from Caesaria, a fragment of which he enshrined beneath the Church of S.
