The office has continued, with some interruptions, down to this day. The bishops were later elevated in stature and became Patriarchs. The Armenian Patriarch is independent and self-governing. The <a href="/wiki/Armenian_Patriarch_of_Jerusalem" class="mw-redirect" title="Armenian Patriarch of Jerusalem">Armenian Patriarch of Jerusalem</a> recognizes the <a href="/wiki/Mother_See_of_Holy_Etchmiadzin" title="Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin">Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin</a> as having pre-eminent supremacy in all spiritual matters. </p><p>After the end of the Crusader period, the Armenian Patriarchs sought to establish good relations with the Muslim rulers. The Armenian <a href="/w/index.php?title=Patriarch_Sarkis_I_of_Jerusalem&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Patriarch Sarkis I of Jerusalem (page does not exist)">Patriarch Sarkis I</a> (1281–1313) met the <a href="/wiki/Mamluk" title="Mamluk">Mamluk</a> governor in Egypt and subsequently returned to his community in Jerusalem, hoping to usher in a period of peace for his people after the Crusades. In the 1340s the Armenians were permitted to build a wall around their quarter. The Mamluk government also engraved a protective declaration in Arabic on the western entrance to the quarter. </p><p>The Armenian quarter in this period kept creating "<a href="/wiki/Facts_on_the_ground" title="Facts on the ground">facts on the ground</a>" by the constant small expansions and consolidations. In the 1380s <a href="/w/index.php?title=Patriarch_Krikor_IV&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Patriarch Krikor IV (page does not exist)">Patriarch Krikor IV</a> built a priests' dining room across from St. James' Cathedral. Around 1415 the olive grove on the Mount of Olives, the Garden of <a href="/wiki/Gethsemane" title="Gethsemane">Gethsemane</a>, was purchased. In 1439, Armenians were removed by the Greeks and from the Golgotha chapel in the <a href="/wiki/Church_of_the_Holy_Sepulcher" class="mw-redirect" title="Church of the Holy Sepulcher">Church of the Holy Sepulcher</a>, but the <a href="/w/index.php?title=Patriarch_Mardiros_I&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Patriarch Mardiros I (page does not exist)">Patriarch Mardiros I</a> (1412–1450) purchased the "opposite area" as compensation, and named it <a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Second_Golgotha" class="extiw" title="commons:Category:Second Golgotha">Second Golgotha</a>. This remains in the Patriarch's possession to this day. Because of the rights of the Armenian Church on the Golgotha Chapel, in the afternoon processions in the Holy Sepulcher, the Armenian Church has liturgy there. </p><p>At times, the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem became politicized by struggles within the Armenian Church. The Armenian Patriarchate, due to its proximity to the holy places and isolation from the main Armenian population, played an important role in the schism that began to affect the Armenian leaderships in <a href="/wiki/Constantinople" title="Constantinople">Constantinople</a> and <a href="/wiki/Etchmiadzin" class="mw-redirect" title="Etchmiadzin">Etchmiadzin</a> (seat of the Armenian church). Significantly <a href="/w/index.php?title=Bishop_Eghiazar&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Bishop Eghiazar (page does not exist)">Bishop Eghiazar</a> assumed the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem and in 1644 declared himself for a short period of time as <a href="/wiki/Catholicos" title="Catholicos">catholicos</a> (leader) of all the Armenian church. </p><p>In the 17th century, the Armenians were allowed after much pleading to enlarge the St. James Monastery. At the same time the Armenian <a href="/w/index.php?title=Patriarch_Hovhannes_VII&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Patriarch Hovhannes VII (page does not exist)">Patriarch Hovhannes VII</a> purchased a large parcel of land south of the St. James Cathedral, called Cham Tagh. By 1752 the Patriarchate was busy renovating the entire quarter, and in 1828 further renovations took place after an earthquake. In 1850 the seminary complex at the south end of the St. James convent was completed. </p><p>In 1833, the Armenians established the city's first printing press, and opened a theological seminary in 1843. In 1866, the Armenians had inaugurated the first photographic studio and their first newspaper in Jerusalem. In 1908, the Armenian community built two large buildings on the north-western side of the Old City, along Jaffa Street. </p><p>As the <a href="/wiki/Armenian_diaspora" title="Armenian diaspora">Armenian diaspora</a> spread throughout Europe and America, wealthy Armenians donated generously for the prosperity and continuity of the Patriarchate. The oil magnate and philanthropist <a href="/wiki/Calouste_Gulbenkian" title="Calouste Gulbenkian">Calouste Gulbenkian</a> came to endow the Gulbenkian Library in the Armenian quarter that was named in gratitude in his name, today holding one of the great collection of ancient Armenian manuscripts including endless copies of the various <a href="/wiki/Firman" title="Firman">firmans</a>, Ottoman edicts that granted the quarter protection and rights under Muslim rule. </p><p>By the 1920s, most of the Armenian quarter had European-style <a href="/wiki/Gable_roof" title="Gable roof">gable roofs</a>, as opposed to the domes preferred in the Muslim quarter. In 1922 Armenians made up 8% of Jerusalem's Christians, bringing their total number to about 2,480 people. It is also noted that non-Armenians found comfort in the protection of the walled Armenian compound. In the 1930s and 1940s, the Armenian quarter saw further renovations. </p><p>The end of World War II brought also the division of <a href="/wiki/Mandate_Palestine" class="mw-redirect" title="Mandate Palestine">Mandate Palestine</a> and the establishment in 1948 of <a href="/wiki/Israel" title="Israel">Israel</a>. The number of Armenians residing at the time in the <a href="/wiki/Holy_Land" title="Holy Land">Holy Land</a> totaled about 8,000. The Armenians who lived in Haifa and Jaffa, which became part of Israel, got Israeli citizenship; whereas the huge majority of Palestinian Armenians lived in the Armenian Quarter, and the Armenian Patriarchate and its properties came under Jordanian rule. </p><p>The Armenian community was further reduced after the 1967 <a href="/wiki/Six-Day_War" title="Six-Day War">Six-Day War</a>, <a href="/wiki/Naksa" title="Naksa">Naksa</a>, occupation, with many emigrating to Jordan and some to Europe and the United States, leaving around 2,000–3,000 in Jerusalem and the <a href="/wiki/West_Bank" title="West Bank">West Bank</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="The_Patriarchate_complex">The Patriarchate complex</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Armenian_Patriarchate_of_Jerusalem&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: The Patriarchate complex"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem is the home of the <a href="/w/index.php?title=Brotherhood_of_St._James&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Brotherhood of St. James (page does not exist)">Brotherhood of St. James</a>, a monastic order of the <a href="/wiki/Armenian_Apostolic_Church" title="Armenian Apostolic Church">Armenian Apostolic Church</a> with about 60 members worldwide.
