Linked to this tradition is the Saint Thaddeus Monastery (now in northern Iran) and Saint Bartholomew Monastery (now in southeastern Turkey) which were both constructed in what was then Armenia.
Ligada a esta tradición están os mosteiros de San Tadeo (hoxe no norte do Irán) e o San Bartolomeu (hoxe no sueste de Turquía), ambos os dous construídos no que entón era parte da Armenia (provincia romana).
