History

In the 880s, bishop Theodosius had a chapel or burial crypt built for the relics of Barsanuphius of Gaza, a hermit and desert father, close to the porta Hebraica. [1] This chapel sheltered the relics until 1170 when they were transferred to the cathedral. In 1580 the current church and a convent were erected on top of this crypt. [2]
