As the convoy pulled up to St James Cathedral in a narrow street of the Armenian Quarter, hundreds of fans thronged the car, screaming and wolf-whistling as Kardashian climbed out holding her 21-month-old daughter, North.
The couple flew in from a tour of Armenia, landing at Tel Aviv's Ben
Gurion airport before driving straight to the Holy City for the
ceremony.
"It's a baptism that will take place," Archbishop Aris Shirvanian told reporters gathered at the entrance to the church.
"Kim Kardashian's daughter will be baptized and she will become a Christian officially and a member of the Armenian church."
The diminutive star, known for her curves, was modestly attired in a
floor-length gold pleated dress, with long sleeves and plunging
cross-over neckline, while her daughter wore a long white dress, her
feet bare despite unseasonably chilly weather.
The couple disappeared into the church for the ceremony, and left after 90 minutes, an AFP correspondent said.
They were later expected to visit the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the Christian Quarter, with US security guards seen combing the sprawling basilica built on the site where Christians believe Jesus was crucified and rose again.
They were also expected to visit the Western Wall, the holiest site at which Jews can pray which is in the Jewish Quarter.
