History

Church of Saint George in Tulkarm built in 1830 in the early 19th century.[6][7] The Church contains a wall of historical and archaeological memorial icons made in 1943 by the Hellenic Army during their presence in Palestine during the Second World War.[6]

With events of the Nakba; the United Nations was quick on 8 April 1949, to confirm that Tulkarm Orthodox Church is one of the Christian holy places in Palestine, and confirmed that Tulkarm Orthodox Church as a Holy Place under the guardianship of the Greek Orthodox Church. The United Nations and its General Assembly called on all parties to the conflict to protect all holy sites in the Palestinian territories, and to ensure free access to them.[8]

The number of Orthodox Christians in Tulkarm in 1967 reached about 1,000 Orthodox Christians before the number decreased due to the political situations.[9]

In 2015, the UNESCO and the Government of Sweden renovated two of the buildings inside the church, under the supervision of the Palestinian National Authority, the Palestine Liberation Organization, the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate, the Center for Cultural Heritage Preservation (CCHP), and the Municipality of Tulkarm.[11][12][13][14][15]
