The Cathedral of Saint Elias and Saint Gregory the Illuminator (Template:Langx) is a cathedral of the Armenian Catholic Church in Debbas Square in downtown Beirut, Lebanon. Construction was funded in 1928 by Pope Pius XI.[1] It is the cathedral of the Armenian Catholic Patriarchate of Cilicia.[2] The order in which the two eponymous saints are presented in the cathedral's name, Saint Elias and Saint Gregory the Illuminator, is not fixed.
The architecture of the cathedral reflects some changes from traditional Armenian architecture, drawing artistic inspiration from Rome.[3]
