History: Holy Mother of God Armenian Apostolic Church, Nor Adana
The Nor Adana parish was founded in 1929, preserving the dedication of the Armenian church in Adana. A new church foundation was laid on 9 September 1964. Benefactors Boghos Najarian and his wife supported the project, designed by Kevork Emmiyan. The parish later added a chapel dedicated to Saint Hripsime in 1993.
