Ani Tigran Honents church 01d Interior Saint Gregory in well with snakes fresco 3692

The picture can be seen to the right of the arch above the entrance.

I was informed this is a scene of the saint's passion. He is thrown down a pit where snakes dwell. No humans left that pit alive. However, through divine intervention, the snakes understood Gregory's sanctity and they did not approach him.
