Church of Kish

The Church of Kish (Azerbaijani: Kiş kilsəsi; Georgian: გიშის ეკლესია), also known from different sources as Church of Saint Elishe (Azerbaijani: Müqəddəs Yelisey kilsəsi; Armenian: Սուրբ Եղիշէ եկեղեցի; Latinised Saint Eliseus) or Holy Mother of God Church (Armenian: Սուրբ Աստուածածին եկեղեցի), is a Georgian Orthodox church, probably dating to the early 12th century, in the village of Kiş, approximately 5 km north of Shaki, Azerbaijan. It has been inactive due to lack of parishioners since the 19th century, although mass was still regularly held as of 2000 by a Georgian priest.
