Tsilin Church

Qabala District, Azerbaijan

St. Elisaeus Tsilin Church (Udi: Ĭvĕl Yeliseyi s'iyen S'ilin Gergeś) is a 19th-century church in Nij, Azerbaijan. Locals call it simply Tsilin Church to distinguish the church located in the lower (nerkin, Udi: s'ilin, lit. 'lower') quarter of the village from the St. Mary the Mother Church in the upper (verin, Udi: bulun, lit. 'upper') quarter of the village. It was founded as an Armenian church and named Church of the Mother of God (lit. 'Surp Astvatsatsin yekeghets'i').
