Lmbatavank
Lmbatavank ((アルメニア語:Լմբատավանք); also Surb Stepanos, meaning "Saint Stephen") is a church located on a hillside southwest of the town of Artik in the Shirak Province of Armenia. It was constructed in the 7th-century and was dedicated to Saint Stephen.
== Folklore ==
Local folklore tells that Turkish invading forces tried to fire a cannon at the church of S. Stepanos. After firing twice at the structure and missing their target, they tried once again and misfired the cannon in their own vicinity. The commander realized that what they were firing upon was actually a church and put an end to the attack.
In more recent years, the church door is said to have been stolen by a man who was seen carrying it away on his back. When asked by local residents, "What door is this?" he replied "The door to the church!" They told him to bring it back from where he took it, which he did. Since the door was taken from a holy place, it is said that he could not remove it from his back until he returned it to the church because it was stuck.
