description The author proposes an analysis of the complexity of religious temporalities coexisting, entangling or confronting each other in the city of Jerusalem, along with their articulation over an historically long cycle, using the calendar of the Armenian patriarchate. The Armenian calendar is a hybrid calendar printed in pocket format, and published since 1867 which combines liturgical dates, an almanac and a yearbook. Comparing the Armenian, Julian, Gregorian and Hegira calendars, and drawing from the liturgical feasts of the Armenian, Catholic, Orthodox, Jewish and Muslim calendars, the author reflects upon the multi-confessional character of Ottoman society in the second half of the nineteenth century. The author presents these different temporalities and attempts to shed light on the context for their interlacing. The author then questions the significance of publishing such a calendar in the social and political context of the twentieth century, dominated as it was by the rise of nationalisms and by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict which continues to our day. Being a depository of the collective memory of the Armenian church of Jerusalem, this calendar might as well be a depository for one small part of the collective memory of Jerusalem.
