Holy Cross Church, Arabkir

Holy Cross Church, Arabkir, Armenian church building in Arabkir district, Yerevan, Armenia.

Holy Cross Church is an Armenian Apostolic church in the Arabkir district of northern Yerevan. The building is constructed from light-colored stone and features traditional carved ornaments and decorative crosses on its facades.

The church was built by the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin with funding from the Armenian General Benevolent Union, through donor Louise Manoogian Simone, to a design by architect Artak Ghulyan. In 2009 a khachkar donated by Eduard Musheghyan was installed on the adjacent grounds and consecrated by Archbishop Navasard Kchoyan. The church's foundation was blessed in 2013, and on 15 May 2016 its five bells were consecrated.

The name Holy Cross refers to one of the central symbols of the Armenian Apostolic faith. Inside, the walls are decorated with religious imagery that surrounds worshippers during services and daily prayers.

The church sits in the residential Arabkir district and can be reached by public transport from central Yerevan. Visitors are expected to dress modestly and keep quiet when a service is underway.

On the church grounds stands a khachkar, a traditional Armenian memorial stone carved with a cross. These stones have been placed at meaningful locations for centuries and each one is carved by hand, so no two are exactly alike.
