  Jerusalem (After 1291)
Jerusalem and the holy places especially, as being the most interesting parts of the empire to Christians and the scene of continual Christian pilgrimages, were the places where the Turkish government was most anxious to show that its reforms were really meant.
Jerusalem, like the other free branches of their communion, has always indignantly withstood the many attempts of Constantinople to assert a kind of papal authority, and has always upheld the axiom that that ecumenical bishop has no ecclesiastical jurisdiction outside his patriarchate.
The jurisdiction of the Armenian Patriarch of Jerusalem extends throughout the Pashaliks of Damascus, 'Akka, Tarabulus (Tripoli), and Cyprus.

The Patriarch controlled one quarter of the city of Jerusalem (the Holy Sepulchre and the immediate surroundings), and had as its direct suffragans the bishops of Lydda-Ramla, Bethlehem, Hebron, and Gaza, and the abbots of the Temple, Mount Zion, and the Mount of Olives.
The residency of the Patriarchate is in the Old Town of Jerusalem, while the Seminary, which is responsible for the liturgical education, was moved to Beit Jala, a town 10 km south of Jerusalem, in 1936.

 Heraclius and Chosroes - By Barbara Baert
Historians suppose that the campaigns of Heraclius took place in the years between 622-628 and that Heraclius did indeed restore the relic of the True Cross (preserved in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher since Helena found it and it was subsequently stolen by the Persians) to its original place in Jerusalem.
Heraclius could do little but look on; a few years later, from 634, the areas he had freed from the Persians fell into the hands of the Arab Caliph Omar and subsequently converted to Islam.
His triumph complete, Heraclius returns to Jerusalem with the Cross and makes his way down the slopes of the Mount of Olives to the gate by which Christ entered the city at the start of His Passion; there he is greeted with lanterns and palm branches.
