Editor's Note
It is the easternmost structure on Vekse's north wall. This church, set in the middle of the rock face on the slope, is entered through a neat rock-cut courtyard with three niches in its east wall. This outer space, resembling but larger than the courtyard at the entrance of the Ağırnas Görmis Church, can be thought of as a kind of outer narthex. The church extends along a southeast-northwest axis and has a rectangular plan. With a barrel-vaulted ceiling, this 7.5 m long church has, on both of its walls, three deep rectangular niches with arched roofs that were probably arcosolia.
