The Church of Kish ((アゼルバイジャン語:Kiş kilsəsi)), also known by different sources〔(dqdk.gov.az Alban-udi xristian kilsəsi )〕〔(affa.az Azərbaycanda din )〕〔(baku-icc-2009.az Alban-Udi kilsəsi )〕 as Church of Saint Elishe ((アルメニア語:Սուրբ Եղիշէ եկեղեցի)) or Holy Mother of God Church ((アルメニア語:Սուրբ Աստուածածին եկեղեցի)),〔 is an inactive 12th or 13th century Caucasian Albanian church located in the village of Kiş approximately 5 km north of Shaki, Azerbaijan.〔 It has functioned at different times as an Caucasian Albanian Apostolic church〔Wegge Born - From Jerusalem to Gis: An investigation of the Eliseus-tradition in Courcasis.

St. Elishe, a disciple of Thaddeus of Edessa, arrived to a place called Gis (Գիս), where he built a church and recited a liturgy. The church became the "spiritual center and the place of enlightenment of people of the East". On his way from Gis St. Elishe was killed near the pagan altar in the small Zerguni valley by unknown people.〔(Movses Kaghankatvatsi. History of Albania. Book 1, Chapter VI )〕 According to the Armenian historian on architecture〔(kvali.com Georgians, Armenians Row Over Vanishing Monuments )〕 Samvel Karapetian, the geographical position of Kish does not seem to match that described by Kaghankatvatsi. Karapetian believes that they have identified Gis as the village of Bomen/Bum 60 km to the south-east of Kish,〔 in Gabala district. According to a Georgian historiographer, in the 10th century, the population of Kish converted to the Georgian Orthodox Church (Chalcedonism). The church of Kish was turned into a residence of a Georgian bishop, functioning till 17th century.〔(Samvel Karapetian, "Research on Armenian Architecture", Online Version )〕 By the time when Russia took possession of the region the village of Kish had Udi population.〔(Игорь Кузнецов, "Удины". )〕 According to Robert H. Hewsen, the Udi language appeared to have been prevalent north of Kura River until the nineteenth century, and the Armenian population appeared to be of relatively recent arrival. While many Armenians undoubtedly settled there fleeing the Turko-Mongolic invasions, many more entered the region with the coming of the Russians in the early nineteenth century.〔Robert H. Hewsen. "Ethno-History and the Armenian Influence upon the Caucasian Albanians," in: Samuelian, Thomas J. (Hg.), Classical Armenian Culture. Influences and Creativity, Chicago: 1982, 27-40.〕 In 1836, the Albanian church, along with all active churches in this region that were not Georgian or Russian, was incorporated into the Armenian Apostolic Church, and the Church of Kish was refounded in 1860s and became a place of pilgrimage due to the belief that it was associated with Elishe (Yegishe).〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Church of Kish」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
