Geghard means "sacred spear", which Roman soldiers used to stab Jesus before he was crucified. The monastery was built early to collect part of the "sacred spear". The monastery is said to have been built in the 4th century, meaning "cave church" in Armenian, and is named for its large number of buildings hewn in rocks. The monastery includes a central church, two cavern churches and a king's bedding, which has been preserved to date. The monastery experienced the destruction of the Arabs, the destruction of the Mongols and the occupation of Timur, and also experienced several major earthquakes, which have undergone many vicissitudes and have been repaired. The existing monastery in the rocky middle of the 13th century AD, built by the Armenian great nobles Zakarian and Proshian families. The monastery is all built from the rocky rock, and the space is very clever. Entering the monastery, there are many mysterious stone carvings in the church, there are songs from the cave, such as the sound of the sky, looking for the sound of the cave, there is a cave inside, a small stone hall, the top of the light into the light, four red women believers and two black men believers echoed the harmony.
驱车抵达格加尔德修道院后,看到停车场内也是车满为患,好不容易等到一个汽车离开空出停车位,赶紧驾车一头扎进去停好车占住位置。这座修道院实际是修建在山岩之中,其背靠的山岩上也被人雕刻上了巨大的十字架,金光闪闪为这座修道院增光不少。走进依山而建的修道院内,看到室内很多空间都是从岩石中开凿出来的,所以这座修道院也有岩洞教堂的别称。教堂内部比较简陋,没有什么特别之处,只是有一个房间的岩洞内据说有泉水流出,因此有很多人在那里排队等候接泉水喝。据说祈祷厅的岩洞演唱效果非常好,可惜当时没有人在那里喊一嗓子,因此也没有体会到那种天籁之音。因为今天要赶回埃里温归还租借的汽车,因此还需要抓紧时间,故在此地也没有更多逗留,匆匆走过看过,算是到此一游。
亚美尼亚是世界上第一个确立基督教为国教的国家,这里的教堂,修道院随处可见,各有风韵。格加尔德修道院,是亚美尼亚中世纪修道院建筑及雕刻艺术的至尊典范,在不可思议的在悬崖峭壁之上凿刻出来,层层相叠,就像童话世界里的积木一般,无比精美。层次分明,有诸多的礼拜堂和小密室。是我在亚美尼亚参观过最迷人的修道院建筑群,精致的雕刻,堪称完美。千年以前的作品,今天看来依然震撼,能够想象出,刚刚建成时是如何的精美绝伦。大堂中间的拱顶式天窗穿孔,用来采光换气,一举两得,刻在石碑上的铭文,历经千年,依然无比清晰。要知道,这是建于1288年的建筑,虽然颜色单一,但是古朴非常,体现出绝对原始的风貌,不愧为世界文化遗产。
格加尔德修道院,位于亚美尼亚首都埃里温郊区的山谷中,倚山林和,气势宏伟,山谷与教堂浑然天成,合二为一,令人赞叹。郁郁葱葱的森林,清新的幽谷深壑,春天降临,百花齐放时,峡谷一番绝美景象。修道院建着在自然风光旖旎的山谷中,周围环绕着高耸的悬崖。进入峡谷只有唯一的公路,千年古迹随处可见。格尔加德修道院是亚美尼亚最精华的所在,也被称为岩洞教堂,因为其大部分建筑在岩石中直接琢刻而成,是亚美尼亚中世纪修道院建筑的极致表现。
