The chief temple of Vahagn at [[Ashtishat]] on the slopes of Mount Karke was often called the Vahevanean or Vahevahean temple because its priests were members of the [[Vahevuni]] or Vahnuni noble house, who claimed descent from Vahagn. Vahagn was worshipped jointly at the temple together with Anahit and Astghik. According to Agathangelos, after King [[Tiridates III of Armenia|Tiridates III's]] conversion to Christianity in the early fourth century, the first head of the Armenian Church [[Gregory the Illuminator]] went to Ashtishat and destroyed the temple of Vahagn.{{Sfn|Russell|1987|pp=192-193}}{{Sfn|Katvalyan|1985}} A church was constructed on the site of the destroyed temple, which became the first Mother See of the [[Armenian Apostolic Church|Armenian Church]].{{Sfn|Russell|1987|pp=192-193}}{{Sfn|Katvalyan|1985}}
