This chapel was built to serve the old Armenian cemetery in Nicosia in 1892, in memory of the cemetery's benefactor, Constantinopolitan Boghos Odadjian. After the 1963-1964 troubles it was abandoned, as it was adjacent to the UN Buffer Zone. In 2005 part of it was destroyed. As part of the restoration of the cemetery by the Armenian Prelature that started in June 2008, the chapel was restored in April 2009.
