Ananun

(Armenian for Nameless) Son of King Abgar. He succeeded his father as ruler of Edessa in AD34. At the same time, his cousin Sanatruk was crowned King of the Greater Armenia. Both Ananun and Sanatruk renounced Christianity adopted by King Abgar, and worshipped the ancient gods. As a result, Christians were again persecuted in both Greater and Lesser Armenias. Tradition has it that the Apostles Judas, Thaddeus and Bartholomew were killed in different regions of Armenia.
