SAINT CROSS CHURCH OF CRIMEA

We have already told you that on July 29 Armenian President Serge Sargsyan and Catholics of All Armenians Garegin B participated in the ceremony dedicated to the 650th anniversary of Saint Cross Church in Crimea.
Saint Cross is the most significant center of Crimean – Armenian colony. It is located 4 km Southwest from the city Old Crimea, on the terrace of the mountain “Saint Cross”. The manuscripts about the church were first written in 1347, though this church has been built much later in 1358 by the help of Hovhannes kronavor, his brothers and religious followers. The construction records of the church testify to this fact.
In 14-18 centuries Saint Cross used to be a big religious and cultural center. It used to have its religious school, and a library, besides being an Episcopal residence. As a religious center the complex functioned up to 1920.
