The Greek Catholic Church of Nazareth is a Byzantine Rite Catholic church (Greek Catholic Melkite Church) located in the city of Nazareth, in northern Israel.
This large church was built in the first half of the twentieth century by Archbishop Hakim Maksymosa. It was erected opposite the square facing the Synagogue Church of Nazareth (with which it should not be confused). The building houses a primary school, secondary school, seminary, and parish.
The interior of the church has three naves divided by two rows of columns. The set is richly decorated with paintings and icons.
The church is open to the public Monday through Saturday, however no visits are permitted during mass or other church services.
