Orthodox Church of Ramallah, Greek Orthodox church in Ramallah, West Bank
The Orthodox Church of Ramallah is a church building with Byzantine architectural features including domes and interior religious art. The structure displays classic Eastern Orthodox design elements and houses several sacred objects within its walls.
The church was founded in 1852 as the main Orthodox place of worship in Ramallah under the jurisdiction of Jerusalem's Greek Orthodox Church. This establishment marked an important moment in the region's religious history.
This church serves as a gathering place for Orthodox Christians from Ramallah and nearby villages who share Eastern Orthodox traditions. The liturgical practices followed here maintain the traditional forms passed down through the faith community.
Visitors can access the church to experience its daily religious life and the building itself. Regular services take place on Sundays, and additional ceremonies are held during major religious holidays.
Several historical icons displayed inside were transferred from smaller churches that were destroyed during periods of conflict. These artworks are now preserved and form part of the church's collection.
