Church of Saint Porphyrius
The Church of Saint Porphyrius (or St. Porphyrius Church, (アラビア語:كنيسة القديس برفيريوس)) is the Orthodox Christian church of Gaza, and the oldest active church in the city. Located in the Zaytun Quarter of the Old City, it is named after the 5th century bishop of Gaza, Saint Porphyrius, whose tomb is situated in the northeastern corner of the church.〔Dumper, 2007, p.156.〕
==History==
Original construction of the Church of Saint Porphyrius dates back to 425 CE,〔Cohen and Lewis, 1978, p. 119〕 however the modern construction was undertaken by the Crusaders in the 1150s or 1160s and they dedicated it St. Porphyrius. Records from the 15th century show that dedication of the church was also attested to the Virgin Mary.〔 In 1856, it was renovated.〔 There are some cornices and bases that date back to the Crusader period, but much of the other portions are later additions.〔
The church was one of the targets of attacks in the Palestinian Territories in the wake of Pope Benedict XVI's remarks citing a Byzantine scholar's critical position on Islam. It may be the church was targeted for the reason of the Byzantine link, or just being a convenient Christian shrine, even though there is no connection between the church and the Vatican.
