The Church of St. Toros is located next to the St. James' Cathedral. Some 4,000 ancient manuscripts are kept at the church[1] (cf. St. Toros Manuscript Library). This collection of Armenian illustrated manuscripts is the second largest in the world, after one in Armenia. When former Armenian President Levon Ter-Petrosyan visited Israel, the Church of Saint Toros was an important stop on his itinerary.[2]
Thoros, also transliterated as T'oros, is the Armenian equivalent of the name Theodore (Theodoros in Greek).
