Holy Mother of God Cathedral (Armenian: Սուրբ Աստվածամոր Հովանու մայր տաճար, romanized: Surb Astvatsamor Hovanu Mayr Tachar), also known as Surb Astvatsamor Hovanu Cathedral, is a church of the Armenian Apostolic Church, located in the city of Khankendi (Armenian: Stepanakert), Azerbaijan. A 4-meter statue of King Vachagan III was planned[needs update] to be placed on a 2-meter pedestal near the church.[1][2] The church - under construction for 12 years - was consecrated on April 7, 2019.[3]

History

The cathedral became a bomb shelter during the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, with civilians taking refuge in the basement of the cathedral from Azerbaijan's bombardment of Stepanakert.[4]

The last liturgy was served in the cathedral on 1 October 2023 after the majority of the Armenian population had fled the city and Azerbaijan had taken control.[5]
