Историческая справка
The Armenian khachkar is a memorial stele made of soft tuff or basalt and decorated with carvings of cross or any other pattern. Khachkars were erected for various reasons: as borderline poles, as symbols of promises or gratitude, as gravestones (if so, the decorated side was turned to the west). Every khachkar has a unique pattern. The khachkar craftsmanship is inscribed into the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Besides several thousand cross-stones of Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh, khachkars may be found anywhere where there is an Armeinan community. The oldest Armenian community is located in Jerusalem: first resettlers had appeared there at the end of the 1st century, and three centuries later Armenian churches were being built there. Nowadays the Armenian quarter is the smallest in size and in population (only 200 people) of the four quarters of Old Jerusalem. Khachkars may be given as presents. The khachkar near the eastern facade of Cathedral of Christ the Saviour is a gift given by Armenian Apostolic Church in the year 2000. // Khachkars in the Temple of Garni (Armenia), in the wall of Saint James Cathedral (Jerusalem, Israel) and in ulitsa Volkhonka in Moscow.
