The Armenian Church has expressed willingness to contribute to the restoration of the ancient tomb in Jerusalem where Jesus was buried.

The issue was discussed at today’s sitting of the Supreme Religious Council held at the Mother See of holy Etchmiadzin.

Underlining the importance of Jerusalem in the national life and the responsibility of the Armenian Church in the maintenance of the holy site, the Supreme Religious Council committed itself to supporting the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem and raise the necessary funds through its Dioceses around the world.
