Armenian Quarter, Jerusalem

Armenian Quarter, May 2012 / I.A. Daglis

The Armenian presence in Jerusalem dates back to the earliest years of Christianity. There is recorded historical evidence that as early as 254 A.D. bishops of the Armenian Church, in cooperation with bishops of the Greek Orthodox Churches in Jerusalem and Alexandria (Egypt), were actively engaged in the discovery and confirmation of Holy Places.
