The translation period of the Homily on Good Friday is attributed to the reign of Gregory, the Catholicos of the Armenians, thought to be Gregory III Pahlawuni (1113-1166 AD). The style of its original source remains unclear, but the homily closely resembles Jacob of Serugh's Syriac works. Homily on Good Friday dwells on Jesus while suffering on the Cross, Mary's lament, her accusations against protectors Gabriel and Michael, their assurance, and Jesus' conversation with the thief beside him. Mathews includes a transcription, commenting that scholarship is widely unaware of Jacob of Serugh's existing work in Armenian. Mathews identifies seventeen such homilies, seven without Syriac originals. Table of Contents
