Beschreibung
The Old City of Jerusalem, with its distinct limestone buildings and gold-plated domes, presents
a fascinating tapestry of religious communities that have long praised the city as one of the
most sacred junctions between the divine and the earthly. The earliest connection of the
Armenians to Palestine dates back to their adoption of Christianity in 301 A.D. with the arrival
of Armenian pilgrims in Jerusalem shortly after. The Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem has
been a largely independent hierarchy within the sees of the Armenian Apostolic Church. In the
second half of the 19th century, the Patriarchate underwent a period of modernization, becoming
a center of scholarly, printing and educational activities. During this period, Patriarch Yessayi
Garabedian established the first non-Western photographic workshop in the Armenian Quarter;
his apprentice Garabed Krikirian in turn founded the first photographic studio in the holy city.

This volume presents the catalogue of an exhibition on Jerusalem Armenian photography held at
the Hungarian University of Fine Arts, Budapest in September-October, 2024, and is preceded by
scholarly reflections. The latter offer theoretically, contextually and archivally rich analysis of
the lasting, multifaceted Armenian religious, educational and cultural experience in Jerusalem
and in the Middle East.
