Saint Elisæus Church ({{Lang-az|Müqəddəs Yelisey kilsəsi}}) or Jotaari Church ({{lang-az|Cotaari məbədi}}, after the quarter) is a Caucasian Albanian church, located on the municipality of Nij in the Qabala region of Azerbaijan.

History

Church was built in 1823 by a local Udi priest Astvatzatur Jotaniants on the grave site and chapel of Vlas the Martyr, a disciple of Saint Elysaeus.[1] It was repaired in 1879 by locals.[2] It was repaired again in 2004 by The Norwegian Humanitarian Enterprise. However erasion of Armenian inscriptions during renovation caused protest by then Norwegian ambassador – Steinar Gil.[3]

Priests

National Archives of Armenia has some documents related to priests served in church:

  • From 1832 until at least 1857 – Avetik Ohanjanian Jotaniants.[4][5] He was grandson of founder Yengibar Astvatzatur Jotaniants and grave is near southern wall of the church.
  • 1859–1885 – Hovhannes Ter-Astvatzatrian Jotaniants[6]
  • 1879-27.12.1910 – Hambardzum (Hovhannes) Avagian Dallakiants[7]

Nowadays

Initially a part of Armenian Gregorian Church, the building now serves as main spiritual and cultural center of Nij inhabitants.[8]
