The Yaysmawurk' is a liturgical collection of brief saints' lives
arranged according to the day on which they were celebrated in the
annual church calendar. The name comes from the first words of most
of the daily entries: Y-aysm awur, that is, "On this day . . ." The
collection was part of the great and varied Armenian liturgical
tradition from the turn of the first millennium. The first
Yaysmawurk' was translated from an existing Greek liturgical
collection (the Synaxarion, "where the lives are all collected").
In fact, it is common knowledge that this Greek collection was the
basis for nearly all such liturgical collections of the lives of
the saints throughout the early Christian world. However, it was
not a mere translation. Rather, it constituted a logical
culmination of a long and steady development in the Armenian Church
of what scholars today like to call the cult of the saints.
