Holy Mother of God Church of Bethlehem, Armenian church in Old Tbilisi, Georgia.
The Holy Mother of God Church of Bethlehem features traditional Armenian architectural elements at the base of Narikala fortress in the Kldis-Ubani district.
The church, constructed in 1727 by Priest Gregory and his grandson Barsegh, was later completed with funds from Agha-Meliq Bebutyan after his Indian crusade.
The church structure demonstrates the interweaving of Armenian and Georgian religious traditions, as it transitioned from Armenian to Georgian Orthodox ownership in 1994.
Visitors can reach the church through the narrow streets of Old Tbilisi, with guided tours available that explain the architectural and historical features.
Archaeological excavations in 1981 uncovered the original chapel basement beneath the current church structure, revealing multiple construction phases.
