Mariamite Cathedral of Damascus ((アラビア語:الكنيسة المريمية)) is one of the oldest Greek Orthodox churches in Damascus, Syria and holds the seat of the Greek Orthodox Church of Antioch. The church complex is located on the Street Called Straight.〔() 〕 ==History== The church was built during the 2nd century AD. After the Muslim conquest of Damascus the church was closed until 706 AD when Al-Walid ordered to return it to the Christians as a compensation for the Church of John the Baptist which was turned into the Umayyad Mosque.〔 The church was destroyed and rebuilt several times in later years. It was described by Ibn Jubayr as: In 1342, the Patriarchal See of Antioch was transferred from Antioch to Damascus and the church served as the seat of the Greek Orthodox Church in the East.〔 The church was burned down by mobs, along with most of the Christian quarter, when the 1860 Druze-Christian conflict in Lebanon spilled into Damascus, and was rebuilt three years later. It was last renovated in 1953.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mariamite Cathedral of Damascus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
