		Thus, Armenia became the first Christian Nation in year 301 A.D. Krikor was the son of Anak, brother to the Armenian king who, during the Perso-Byzantine struggle for control of Armenia, was responsible for the assasination of his brother and the royal family, except for the young prince Drtad and his sister, Khosrovitookht.
		When the King later found that Gregory was a Christian and that he had refused to worship the gods and godesses of the court, Drtad had Gregory punished and thrown into a deep pit in Khorvirab.
		After the great conversion, Gregory was ordained priest and Bishop by Leontius of Caesarea in 302, and then Catholicos, becoming the First Catholicos of the Armenian Church..

		As a result, he was named bishop of Ashtishat around 315 and was consecrated by Archbishop Leontius of Caesarea.
