|
The Cross symbol holds a special place in the Armenian Church,
drawing together fundamental aspects of the Armenian
religion.
 |
A particular feature of Armenian Crosses is the triple
loop at the corner tip of each of the limbs. These are
representative of Suns, bringing in the 'light of
Christianity' to the world, the eight corners themselves
being the eight points of the compass. The three loops, in
addition, denote the Trinity or 'Three in One'
concept.
|
The
four limbs of Armenian Crosses signify the four
corners of the world, which are illuminated by rays of
light emanating from the centre or 'eye'.
|
To
the Armenians, a cross is seen as a demonstration of
eternal life. To emphasise this belief the patterns on
their crosses often form unbroken lines, similar to the
many examples of Celtic Knots we see today.
|
Our fabulous Armenian cross incorporates these symbols to
form a magnificent piece of jewellery
that you will want to treasure forever.
|
With its attractive
eye-catching design, this cross will appeal, not just to
Armenians, but to Christians everywhere.
This
beautiful Armenian cross can only be purchased from Blue
Heron Jewellery and is available in either hallmarked,
solid, sterling silver or 9ct gold. It comes gift-boxed, complete
with
a 46cm (18 inch) flat curb, diamond cut chain.
