Cross "Khachkar" (Model 901) STL

A khachkar (Armenian: խաչքար, meaning 'cross-stone') is a carved, memorial steele bearing a cross, unique to Armenian Christian art and tradition. The origins of this distinctive monumental craft trace back to the 9th century, marking a renaissance in Christian iconography following the liberation from Arab rule. At the heart of the composition lies the ornate cross, symbolizing the Tree of Life and Christ's victory over death, framed by intricate geometric and floral knotwork. Historically, the faithful offer prayers before khachkars for spiritual protection, divine guidance, and the commemoration of ancestors, viewing the monument as a focal point of prayer and divine grace.
