Cross "Khachkar" (Model 604) STL

A khachkar (Armenian: խաչքար, meaning 'cross-stone') is a unique type of Armenian architectural monument and shrine, consisting of a carved stone stele featuring a cross. The tradition of creating khachkars dates back to the 4th century, immediately following the adoption of Christianity in Armenia, with the golden age of this art flourishing between the 9th and 11th centuries. In Christian iconography, the khachkar symbolizes the Tree of Life and Christ's victory over death, serving simultaneously as a commemorative monument, a protective emblem, and a focal point for prayer. Believers pray before this sacred imagery for the protection of their homes, spiritual strength, healing, and the commemoration of the departed, honoring the cross as the instrument of salvation.
