The Holy Mother of God Church of Voskepar (Armenian: Ոսկեպարի Սուրբ Աստվածածին եկեղեցի), is a 7th-century Armenian church in Voskepar, Armenia, adjacent to the border with Azerbaijan. Its design is that of the cruciform central plan, "Mastara" type. The roof was originally made of tiles. The church was reconstructed in 1975-1977. Despite heavy fighting during the Nagorno-Karabakh War having spread to the area (Tavush Province of Armenia/Gazakh Rayon of Azerbaijan), and the destruction of the immediately adjacent Azeri village, Aşağı Əskipara (Lower Askipara), the church still stands.
