In the story, the martyrdom of the nuns is followed by Tiridates's transformation into the form of a wild boar as divine punishment, along with other afflictions affecting the king's household and the entire capital. Tiridates's sister receives a vision showing her that Gregory, a Christian imprisoned and tortured on Tiridates's orders for his faith, must be released to stop the torments. Gregory is released and Tiridates is cured. The bodies of the martyred nuns, which had remained unburied for nine days, are buried and shrines are built over their graves. The king and the Armenian people are converted to Christianity. Later, the churches of Saint Gayane and Saint Hripsime were built on the sites of the saints' graves. Catholicos Komitas (r. 615–628) demolished the small martyrium and constructed the present Church of Saint Hripsime in 618. According to the medieval historian Stepanos Orbelian, the relics of Hripsime were in the possession of the Armenian catholicoi until 1292, when the Mamluks took them to Egypt after the capture of Hromkla, then the seat of the catholicos.
