About
The beautiful church is located on Street of Concordia, being raised with the contribution of Tulceni Armenians, from Western Armenia, but also of merchants passing through the city.
The foundation stone was laid in 1882, on the place where there was a small chapel since 1830. The place on which the church was built was donated by the Garabetian family and the construction works lasted three years and were started under the coordination of the leaders of the Armenian community , Hampartum Garabetian, Simon Meldovian and Mihram Caragcian.
The choice of the patron saint was not accidental, the spiritual patron, St. Gregory the Illuminator, being the one who brought the light of Christianity to Armenia and thanks to whose support, the Armenian king Tiridates adopted Christianity in the year 301, Armenia being the first state in which it became the official religion.
