My moss terrarium that I made with my Grandmother’s old tea kettle that she gave to me. In the terrarium are mosses, grasses, rocks, and clovers. One clover decided to sprout through the spout :)

Francesco Fracanzano (Italian, 1612-1656) - Il re Tiridate implora san Gregorio perché gli vengano restituite sembianze umane (detail) [King Tiridates begs St. Gregory for the restoration of his human appearance], between 1635 and 1637. Church of San Gregorio Armeno, Naples

“At that time, Armenia was ruled by Tiridates III, son of the late King Khosrov II. Influenced partly by the fact that Gregory was the son of his father’s enemy, he ordered Gregory imprisoned for twelve (some sources indicate fourteen) years in a pit on the Ararat Plain under the present day church of Khor Virap located near the historical city Artashat in Armenia. Gregory was eventually called forth from his pit in c. 297 to restore to sanity Tiridates III, who had lost his reason after he was betrayed by Roman emperor Diocletian. Diocletian invaded vast amounts of territory of western provinces of Greater Armenia, that became protectorates of Rome.

In 301 Gregory baptized Tiridates III along with members of the royal court and upper class as Christians. Tiridates III issued a decree by which he granted Gregory full rights to begin carrying out the conversion of the entire nation to the Christian faith. The same year Armenia became the first country to adopt Christianity as its state religion.” (en.wikipedia)
