Sion (periodical)

Sion (in Armenian Սիոն) is a periodical of the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem and its official organ. It started publication in Jerusalem in 1866 until 1877 when it ceased publication for 50 years.[1]

It resumed publication in 1927 by the order of Patriarch Yeghishe Tourian and has continued with brief interruptions until today.

Sion has published extensive news of the Patriarchate and its activities in its territorial jurisdiction (Israel, Palestine and Jordan), asserting its special position in the Armenian Apostolic Church, its relation to the Mother Church in Armenia and relation to other churches, political authorities, organizations and individuals. It also publishes academic and scientific articles related to Armenian religion, history, arts and culture.
