Church of the Holy Mother of God

Church of the Holy Mother of God, Armenian Apostolic church in Nansen Park, Yerevan, Armenia.

The Church of the Holy Mother of God stands in Nansen Park in Nor Nork, next to the Fridtjof Nansen Museum-Memorial. Its complex includes the church, a priest's house with a rest pavilion, a decorated candle-lighting altar, and about thirty monuments and khachkars. The benefactors were Karlen and Sara Yesayan, honored doctors of Armenia.

The church belongs to a memorial complex whose construction began in 2012, next to the Fridtjof Nansen Museum. On 11 October 2014 Archbishop Navasard Kchoyan consecrated the dome cross, bell, door, columns, baptismal font, icons and eight khachkars of the enclosure; the altar followed on 12 October. Physicians Karlen and Sara Yesayan funded the church, the presbytery and the museum.

The church stands beside the Fridtjof Nansen Museum-Memorial, built by benefactors Karlen and Sara Yesayan, honoured doctors of Armenia. Around it, some thirty monuments and cross-stones (khachkars) commemorate heroic and tragic pages of Armenian history, notable Armenians and friends of the Armenian people.

The church stands in the park named after Fridtjof Nansen, beside the Nansen Museum-Memorial Complex, in Yerevan's Nor Nork district.
