  • Question about a khachkar

    Does anyone know where the following khachkars are located?



    It's apparently Sevan, but I don't remember seeing those when I was in Armenia.

    Ok, I couldn't remember where I saw this at first, but then I went through my photos from a 2005 trip I took and figured it out. This Khatchkar is no longer outdoors. I don't know where Raffi's picture was taken but when I saw this Khatchkar it was inside Surp Mariam Astvatsatsin Monastery on the peninsula on Lake Sevan. It's just inside the front door to your left.

    Per Raffi, the photo came from an older book, and he too was trying to figure out where the Khatchkar was located. I've asked for the date of publication on the book so we get an idea of what time frame they must have moved it inside. And my guess of course is that this Khatchkar was on the peninsula near the Vank originally.

    Anyway, attached is a photo from 2005...
