Kirants Monastery is a 13th-century Armenian monastery located about 10 kilometers southwest of Kirants village in the Tavush Province of Armenia.[1] The Georgian Orthodox Church in Armenia has laid claim to the monastery, which the Armenian Apostolic Church rejects.[2]
The Kirants Monastery was most likely founded by the Zakarid ruler Avag Zakarian, who was of Chalcedonian faith.[3] The frescoes of the monastery are from the 1230s-1240s.[3]
