- Grigor Narekatsi (or Krikor, Grigor Naregatsi, Գրիգոր Նարեկացի) (951–1003) is a canonized saint. He was an Armenian monk, poet, mystical philosopher and theologian, born into a family of writers. His father, Khosrov, was an archbishop. He lost his mother very early, so he was educated by his cousin, Anania of Narek, who was the founder of the monastery and school of the village. Almost all of his life he lived in the monasteries of Narek where he taught at the monastic school. He is the author of mystical interpretation on the Song of Songs (977) and numerous poetic writings. Narekatsi's poetry is deeply biblical and is penetrated with images, themes and realities of sacred history, distinguished with intimate, personal character. The mystical poem "Book of Lamentations" (published in 1673 in Marseille) has been translated into many languages and has played a significant role in the development of the Armenian literary language. For Narekatsi, peoples' absolute goal in life should be to reach to God, and to reach wherever human nature would unite with godly nature, thus erasing the differences between God and men. As a result, the difficulties of earthly life would disappear. According to him, mankind's assimilation with God is possible not by logic, but by feelings. Numerous miracles and traditions have been attributed to the saint and perhaps that is why he is referred to as "the watchful angel in human form". In 1984-1985, Alfred Schnittke composed Concerto for Mixed Chorus singing verses from Gregory's Book of Lamentations translated into Russian by Naum Grebnev, according to the Russian edition Kniga Skorbi, transl. by Naum Grebnev, Preface by Levon Mkrtchian, Sovetakan Grokh, Yerevan, 1977. The monastery of Narek was utterly destroyed in the 20th century after the Armenian Genocide. St. Gregory of Narek Born circa 950 to a family of scholarly churchmen, St. Gregory entered Narek Monastery on the south-east shore of Lake Van at a young age. Shortly before the first millennium of Christianity, Narek Monastery was a thriving center of learning. These were the relatively quiet, creative times before the Turkic and Mongol invasions that changed Armenian life forever. Armenia was experiencing a renaissance in literature, painting, architecture and theology, of which St. Gregory was a leading figure. The Prayer Book is the work of his mature years. He called it his last testament: "its letters like my body, its message like my soul. " St. Gregory left this world in 1003, but his voice continues to speak to us. Written shortly before the first millennium of Christianity, the prayers of St. Gregory of Narek have long been recognized as gems of Christian literature. St. Gregory called his book an “encyclopedia of prayer for all nations. ” It was his hope that it would serve as a guide to prayer by people of all stations around the world. A leader of the well-developed school of Armenian mysticism at Narek Monastery, at the request of his brethren he set out to find an answer to an imponderable question: what can one offer to God, our creator, who already has everything and knows everything better than we could ever express it? To this question, posed by the prophets, psalmist, apostles and saints, he gives a humble answer – the sighs of the heart – expressed in his Book of Prayer, also called the Book of Lamentations. In 95 grace-filled prayers St. Gregory draws on the exquisite potential of the Classical Armenian language to translate the pure sighs of the broken and contrite heart into an offering of words pleasing to God. The result is an edifice of faith for the ages, unique in Christian literature for its rich imagery, its subtle theology, its Biblical erudition, and the sincere immediacy of its communication with God.
- Gregor von Narek war ein armenischer Mönch, Mystiker und Schriftsteller aus dem Königreich Vaspurakan.
- Grégoire de Narek, Krikor Narekatsi ou Grigor Naregatsi est un théologien (vardapet), poète et philosophe d'Arménie. Né dans le Vaspourakan des Artzrouni, il passe la plus grande partie de sa vie au monastère de Narek, non loin du lac de Van, près de la splendide église d'Aghtamar, où il est notamment enseignant. Il est considéré comme le maître de la poésie sacrée du Moyen Âge arménien. Narek est à la poésie arménienne ce que Dante est à la poésie italienne. Il a tiré la langue arménienne classique de la liturgie pour lui donner, après l'avoir remodelée et sculptée, une autre forme et un autre sens, la poésie arménienne médiévale. Il fut le contemporain du poète arabe Abu-l-Ala al-Maari. Ce grand mystique, reconnu par tout un peuple, a écrit vers la fin de sa vie, son chef-d'œuvre, un savant poème, le Livre des Lamentations, ainsi que des odes célébrant la Vierge d'une étrange sensualité, des chants, mais aussi des panégyriques. Son influence a marqué la littérature arménienne et se retrouve chez d'autres poètes, comme Sayat-Nova, Yéghiché Tcharents et Parouir Sévak.
- Gregorio di Narek nacque in una famiglia di scrittori. Suo padre, Khosrov, fu un arcivescovo. Avendo perso sua madre molto presto fu educato da sua cugina, Anania di Narek, fondatrice della scuola e del villaggio. Visse gran parte della sua vita nei monasteri di Narek dove insegnava presso la scuola monastica. Fu uno dei più importanti poeti della storia letteratura armena.
- Św. Grzegorz z Nareku (Grigor Narekaci; ur. ok. 944, zm. ok. 1010) – jeden z największych poetów i uczonych ormiańskich. Urodził się około roku 944, podawana jest także data około 950 roku. Był synem biskupa Anczewacziku Chosroesa (lub Chosrowa, który został biskupem po śmierci żony, gdyż w Kościele ormiańskim jedynie osoby bezżenne mogą piastować wyższe godności). Za swoje progreckie przekonania został wyklęty. Grzegorz wraz z bratem Janem został oddany do klasztoru w Nareku na południe od jeziora Wan (dziś we wschodniej Turcji). Jest twórcą Księgi śpiewów żałobliwych – perły poezji ormiańskiej. Dzieło powstało na początku XI wieku, gdyż autor wspomina o walkach cesarza bizantyjskiego Bazylego II w 999 w Armenii. Z Grzegorzem, który został świętym ormiańskim, wiąże się pewna opowieść. Pewnego dnia do klasztoru przybyli dygnitarze kościelni, a świętemu przypadło w udziale goszczenie dostojników. Przygotował pieczone ptaki, zapomniawszy iż jest dzień postu. Na oczach oburzonych gości poprosił Boga o pomoc i ptaki odżyły, odlatując przez okno. W kościele ormiańskim święto Grzegorza obchodzi się 25 stycznia.
