Holy Martyrs Church, Armenian church in Nubarashen district, Yerevan, Armenia.

The Holy Martyrs Church is a house of worship in the Nubarashen district built with traditional Armenian architectural elements and contemporary stone construction. The building displays angular forms and narrow windows characteristic of Armenian ecclesiastical design.

Construction of the Holy Martyrs Church began in 2012 under the patronage of benefactor Gagik Tsarukyan, to a design by Artak Ghulyan, an architect honoured by Armenia. Catholicos of All Armenians Garegin II performed the consecration rite, while the sixteen columns were consecrated by a group of bishops from the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin and the Armenian diocese of Brazil.

The church is named for the Holy Martyrs, a dedication tied to the Armenian Apostolic commemoration of those killed for the faith. Its consecration was performed by Catholicos Karekin II, and the sixteen columns were anointed by a group of bishops, among them Navasard Kchoyan and Nathan Hovhannisyan. The building was funded by benefactor Gagik Tsarukyan.

The church stands in the Nubarashen district, southeast of central Yerevan, and is reached by suburban bus routes rather than the metro. Construction began in 2012 under benefactor Gagik Tsarukyan, so expect a modern building rather than an old one. Check locally for service times before travelling out.

Architect Artak Ghulyan blended modern construction methods with classical Armenian ecclesiastical design when planning the space. This rare middle ground between tradition and contemporary building appears in every detail of the interior.
