St Nishan Armenian Orthodox Church

1 review of St Nishan Armenian Orthodox Church

A well preserved church

Excellent

The Armenian population of Beirut resides mainly in the neighbourhood of Bourj Hammound, but this huge white-fronted church, built by the Armenian community, is located in the city centre, a short walk from the Maronite Cathedral of St George. The front door of the church of St. Nshan, St. Gregory in English, is decorated with gold, and there's a spacious interior with a mosaic of the crucifixion displayed on the altar. The church is topped by a large dome, and decorated at its four corners with mosaics that I think are supposed to represent the four apostles. The building is lit by two large stained glass windows.
