Jihan C Bookmark to preserve the history and the heritage of the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern doors and windows.
Doors have always held a great meaning. As we are known for our hospitality in the Middle East, it comes as no surprise to see how beautifully welcoming our doors are.
Khachkars literally meaning "cross-stone" are a uniquely Armenian form of art, which evolved into incredibly ornate form which reached its peak in the 12th to 13th centuries. They are recognized by UNESCO as part of Armenia's intangible cultural heritage. Most intricate known Khachkars were designed by the great architect Momik. Khachkars are most commonly used as tombstones, but were sometimes used as memorials. Highly detailed and elaborated khachkars are called "lacework" khachkars.
