The hagiography of Hripsime and her companions was preserved in the Armenian histories of Agathangelos and Movses Khorenatsi and spread throughout the Christian world. In 618, the Armenian catholicos Komitas Aghtsetsi wrote a hymn (sharakan) dedicated to them on the occasion of the consecration of Saint Hripsime Church. The martyrdom of Hripsime and Gayane is depicted in a miniature in the Menologion of Basil II.
