Armenian St. Georgy church of 14th century in Feodosiya is destroying and falling down. The church has been long under the threat of destruction and unfit for liturgy. Four years ago Holy Father Yeremia (reverend of the Surb Khach situated near Hovhannes Aivazovsky’s grave) attempted to organize the restoration of the church. However, the project had to be elaborated and approved, which was costly and difficult to achieve due to bureaucratic hurdles, kafa-info.com.ua reported.
“Armenian community representatives simply cleaned up the area near the church and left it closed. Recently the door has disappeared and the church is open now. Its interior is in state of decay, though the location and the church are really spectacular. If restored and cleaned, the place can become one of the most popular sights of Feodosiya,” kafa-info.com.ua reads.
