Armenian Cross

Christening is the most important sacrament for every Christian. This rite recognized and practiced by absolutely all faiths, and its essence lies in the fact that from this moment a person is under the protection of God. At the time of christening, each newly Christian receives a special name, as well as a guardian angel, who throughout his life will protect him from various temptations and sin.

Spiritual birth necessarily implies the giving of a silver cross. Тhis is a symbol of faith that should remain with a person all his life, from birth to death. That is why many priests recommend buying silver crosses – they are not only beautiful and high-quality, but also incredibly durable.

Armenian cross is a symbol that combines a cross with a floral postament or elements. In the Armenian Christianity it was combined with the Christian cross and this design was often used for high stone crosses (khachkar). Khachqar is a free-standing cross made of stone and often richly decorated.
The Armenian cross, also called Sprouted or Blooming, is a kind of cross that  distinguished by sprouting branches, enlarged ends of the cross and ribbon frame. Moreover, ornament symbolizes the life-giving power of the cross and its difference from the cross as a tool of punishment.
