April 6, 2015

abandoned cathedral. But knowing a little more about where she is

The church is the Amernian Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Turkey.

According to Wikipedia, the church was built in 915 by King Gagik I
Artsruni of Vaspurakan.

An important site for the faithful of Armenia for centuries,
the cathedral was looted in 1915 and sat empty for decades before
being converted into a museum and tourist attraction by the Turkish
government.

Architecturally, the cathedral is known for the relief carvings that
adorn the outer walls.

As for the song being sung, one Reddit user identifies it as “Der
Voghormia,” the Armenian version of “Lord Have Mercy” (or “Kyrie
Eleison”).
