The order was divided into religious, who were charged with the holy offices and missionary work among the unbelievers, and the fighters, who defended the country against the attacks of the Muslims. It rendered great services for a century and only disappeared when Armenia was conquered by the Turks.
According to Thomas Robson (The British Herald, 1830), the order was also called the Order of St. Bass.[1]
