The Church is located in Kish (Template:Lang-az) village approximately 5km north from Shaki, Azerbaijan.
The church was established by the first century apostle Euliseus in 62 A.B. The church (referred to as "Mother of All Eastern Churches") was the first church of Caucasian Albania and is believed to be the first church built in the Caucasus.
The sites around the church were excavated from 2000 until 2002, and the remains of bodies found within the present church walls, which date back to the 5th century, are on display in the church courtyard.
Nowadays, the church is considered to be one of the centres of Albanian-Udi Christian community in Azerbaijan.
