History

The pontifical residence at the churchyard

On July 4, 2009, a ground blessing service was conducted by Catholicos Karekin II for the construction of Saint Anna Church and an adjacent complex intended to serve as the Yerevan residence of the Catholicos. The ceremony was attended by President Serzh Sargsyan; President of the Constitutional Court, Gagik Harutyunian; Mayor of Yerevan, Gagik Beglarian; members of the Brotherhood of Holy Etchmiadzin, members of the Supreme Spiritual Council national and Armenian-American benefactors Hirair Hovnanian and his wife, Anna, after whom the church has been named.[1]

Construction commenced in 2011 and was completed in 2014. On April 30, 2015, the church was consecrated by Catholicos Karekin II.[2]

Based on a design by architect Vahagn Movsisyan, the church is of single-domed cruciform style with a belfry at the entrance. The pontifical residence is located to the west of the church.

gollark: I'm also pretty sure they defined it as "adult humans", or at least that that was pretty obvious.

gollark: You have just completely failed to notice what ferrazard defines "consenting adults" as, somehow.

gollark: Specific is the opposite of general, silly.

gollark: You seem to just be refusing to accept/blatantly ignoring the definition of "consent" ferrazard supports, thus stop doing that.

gollark: it is not helpful to anyone.
