The Armenian Cross-Stone, known as Khachkar, is a traditional Armenian monument featuring a carved cross and intricate designs. These stones are often made from local stone and can be found in various sizes, typically standing upright. They serve as memorials, commemorating the deceased or marking significant events. Khachkars are characterized by their unique artistry, which includes floral patterns, geometric shapes, and biblical scenes. They reflect the rich cultural heritage of Armenia and are often placed in cemeteries, churches, or historical sites. In 2010, UNESCO recognized the Khachkar as an important part of Armenia's cultural identity.
