List of Armenian Patriarchs of Jerusalem

List of Armenian Patriarchs of Jerusalem

In 638, The Armenian Apostolic Church began appointing its own bishop in Jerusalem, generally known as the Armenian Patriarch of Jerusalem. The office has continued, with some interruptions, down to this day.

The bishop at the Armenian Partriarchate of Jerusalem is given the title of "Patriarch" in deference to Jerusalem's holy status within Christianity; however, the Armenian Patriarch is under the ecclesiastic authority of the Catholicos of Armenia and of All Armenians.
