Convent of St. James (Armenian Cathedral of St. James) – Jerusalem
The Armenian Convent of St. James is the heart of the Armenian Quarter in Jerusalem’s Old City. It is one of the most ancient and important religious institutions of the Armenian Apostolic Church.

📍 Location:

Situated in the Armenian Quarter, one of the four quarters of the Old City of Jerusalem.

Located on Ararat Street, near the Jaffa Gate.

🕍 About the Cathedral and Convent:

Dedicated to: St. James the Greater (the Apostle) and St. James the Less (the brother of Jesus).

The convent complex includes the Cathedral of St. James, a monastery, library, manuscript repository, and residential quarters for clergy and community members.

The Cathedral of St. James was built between the 11th and 12th centuries, though Armenian presence in Jerusalem dates back to the 4th century.

Notable for its rich Armenian-style architecture, beautiful tile mosaics, hanging oil lamps, and ancient khachkars (Armenian stone crosses).

It is the seat of the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem.

📚 Cultural Importance:

Home to the St. Toros Manuscript Library, one of the most significant collections of Armenian manuscripts in the world.

The convent is both a religious center and a symbol of the enduring Armenian presence in Jerusalem, which has survived through centuries of change and conflict.

"Sometimes it's nice to keep things in private, because people ruin beautiful things."
