In every culture there is a certain original element, which, not being present anywhere else, involuntarily becomes a symbol of the entire national culture. In Armenia, this symbol are “khachkars” – the so-called cross-stones – monuments of Armenia are not found in any other country of the world.. The word “khachkar” formed by two Armenian roots: “khach” – a cross and “kar” – a stone.
Armenian Khachkars represent a special kind of art – decorative and architectural sculptures based on ancient national traditions. Also cross stones distinguished by a variety and richness of forms.
The central symbol of any khachkar is a flourishing cross, as it were blossoming, like a tree or a flower, a symbol of a new, eternal life.
Several hundred thousand khachkars have survived on the territory of historical Armenia, and each of them is unique and inimitable.
