History
The church of Saint-Just or Saint-Just of the Maccabees church (Église Saint-Just des Macchabées) is a church in Lyon, France. It is located at 41 rue des Farges, in Lyon and until 2014, the church hosted the "French-speaking Orthodox parish of the Holy Encounter", a parish of the Orthodox Byzantine rite dependent on the patriarchate of Constantinople. It was built around 1565 to replace the original Basilica of Saint Justus, the site of the coronation of Pope Clement V in 1305, which had been destroyed in 1562 by the Huguenot captain François de Beaumont. The church is now part of the Parish of Saint-Just-Saint-Irénée.
