the armenian patriarchates

In addition to the two Catholicates, there are also two patriarchates in the hierarchy of the Armenian Church. The Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem was established in 1281. The presence of Armenians in the Holy Land extends back to the earliest period of the Church. Together with the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate and the Catholic Franciscan Order, the Armenian Patriarchate serves as custodian of the Christian Holy Places. The Patriarchate also has a seminary that has produced many clergymen who have served and continue to serve the Armenian Church throughout the world.
​

The Armenian Patriarchate of Constantinople was established in 1461 to administer the affairs of the Armenian community of the Ottoman Empire. This is the same role the Greek Patriarchate had with respect to the Greek community.
