The collection was part of the great and varied Armenian liturgical tradition from the turn of the first millennium. The first Yaysmawurk was translated from an existing Greek liturgical collection (the Synaxarion, "where the lives are all collected"). Armenian Christians adopted traditional stories and added their own, ultimately creating multiple versions of the Synaxarion as the culmination of a long and steady development of what is today called the cult of the saints.
