Entrance Inscription At The Couvent Armenian Saint Jacques In Jerusalem

In this historical view of the entrance to the Couvent Armenian Saint Jacques (Convent of St. James) in Jerusalem, the inscription, deeply embedded with both religious and historical significance, marks the threshold of a venerable 12th-century Armenian church. The inscription, written in Arabic, carries a solemn decree from Sultan and King Al-Daher Abu Sayid Mohammed, dated to the year 854 of the Islamic calendar, which corresponds to the year 1488 A.D. The translated text reads: "This decree from our Lord Sultan and King Al-Daher Abu Sayid Mohammed, cursed be to all those and their sons through generations, and may Almighty God curse whoever harms or inflicts any injustice to this Holy Place. Abu Kheyer Razan hereby guarantees this to the St. James Armenian Convent in Jerusalem." The inscription is a testament to the protection granted to the St. James Armenian Convent by the ruler of the time. The language used in the decree reflects the gravity of the consequences invoked upon those who would bring harm or injustice to this sacred site. The Cathedral of Saint James holds a pivotal role as the principal church of the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem. Dedicated to two Christian saints, James the Greater and James the Just, the cathedral stands as a symbol of the enduring presence of the Armenian community in the Holy City.
