    Saint Husik I, often known as Husik (Armenian: ??. ?????? ?. ????? ) was a Catholicos of Armenia's Holy Apostolic Church who lived in the fourth century. He was the fourth in line of then of the Parthian Catholicoi immediately after Gregory the Illuminator, St. Aristaces I and St. Vrtanes I.

    Husik was the son of Vrtanes I[1] by an unnamed mother and had a brother called Gregory who was martyred in Caucasian Albania in 343. His paternal uncle Aristaces I and paternal grandfather was the great Gregory the Illuminator.[2]

    Although Husik was born, educated and ordained in Caesarea Cappadocia; he also spent part of his life in the Arsacid Court of King Tigranes VII (Tiran).[3] Husik married at some point an Arsacid Princess, who was an unnamed daughter of Tiridates III of Armenia and Ashkhen. With his wife, Husik had two sons:

    Papas (Pap), who renounced his Catholicos position in 348. He married Varazdoukht, an Arsacid Princess who was one of the sisters of Tigranes VII.
    At’anaganes, who married Bambish, an Arsacid Princess, a sister of Varazdoukht and Tigranes VII.[4] Through his second son, Husik was the grandfather of the Catholicos, St. Nerses I.[5]

    He became the new Catholicos after his father and reigned from 341 until 347. Husik was a true follower of his family's virtues.[6] During his reign, Husik denounced the evils of King Tigranes VII and the King’s courtiers. He went so far at one point, Husik tried to ban Tigranes VII and his associates from the church at the time of a festival. For this act that Husik did to King Tigranes VII and his associates, Husik died as a Christian martyr from being clubbed to death. Husik along with his brother and members of his family are all Saints in the Armenian Apostolic Church.

    Husik (Armeens: ??. ?????? ?. ????? ) (ca.305-347) de vierde patriarch van de Armeens-apostolische Kerk (342-347).

    Zoon van Vrtanes. Na het overlijden van zijn vrouw was Husik in een klooster getreden, waarna hij bij de dood van zijn vader tot patriarch werd benoemd. Hij werd door koning Tigranes opgesloten omdat die genoeg kreeg van zijn vermaningen over de wantoestanden aan het hof (vooral het vasthouden aan heidense gebruiken). Husik overleed in gevangenschap in 347.

    Hij wordt als patriarch opgevolgd door David en daarna door Pharen. Beiden zijn kort in functie en zijn geen nakomelingen van Husik. Na Pharen wordt Nerses I benoemd, een zoon of kleinzoon van Husik.

    Husik wordt als heilige vereerd.
    Familie

    Volgens de Franstalige Wikipedia was hij vader van twee zoons (Pap en At'anagenes), die beiden onwaardig zouden zijn voor een geestelijk ambt. At'anagenes op zijn beurt zou dan vader zijn van patriarch Nerses I. Omdat Nerses vermoedelijk in 326 is geboren, is dit echter praktisch onmogelijk. Daarbij wordt van zowel Husik als At'anagenes vermeld dat ze met een koninklijke prinses waren getrouwd, respectievelijk dochters van Tiridates IV van Armenië en Khosro III van Armenië. Hierdoor zou At'anagenes een wel erg nauwe bloedverwantschap met zijn vrouw hebben.

    Mogelijk verwijzen Husik en At'anagenes naar dezelfde feitelijke historische figuur , die dan vader van Nerses is.
  • He died in the year 347, he was 42 years old.
  • A child of Vrtanes van Armenie
