Church in Beirut, Lebanon
The Cathedral of Saint Elias and Saint Gregory the Illuminator (
Armenian: Սուրբ Եղիա – Սուրբ Գրիգոր Լուսաւորիչ եկեղեցի) is a
cathedral of the
Armenian Catholic Church in Debbas Square in downtown
Beirut,
Lebanon. Construction was funded in 1928 by
Pope Pius XI.
[1] It is the
cathedra of the
Armenian Catholic Patriarchate of Cilicia.
[2] The order in which the two
eponymous saints are presented in the cathedral's name,
Saint Elias and
Saint Gregory the Illuminator, is not fixed.
The architecture of the cathedral reflects some changes from traditional Armenian architecture, drawing artistic inspiration from
Rome.
