Home | Religious Building | Norashen Church, Tbilisi

Norashen Holy Mother of God Church or Norashen Sourb Astvatzatzin Church ( ) is a 15th century Armenian church in Old Tbilisi, Georgia. It was founded in 1467 and renovated in 1650. It also underwent renovations later in 1795, 1808, and 1875. "Norashen" means "newly constructed" in Armenian.

Recently it has been the subject of dispute between Armenians and the Georgian Orthodox Church which has sought to convert it into a Georgian Church. Among the actions taken by the Georgian church is the enclosing of the church with a concrete fence, the defacing of Armenian inscriptions on tombstones, and the bringing in of Georgian tombstones.
