Abstract
This is part two of an article the author published in the previous volume of the Haigazian Armenological Review. It sheds light on five cross relics preserved in the Zarehian Treasure House (Zarehian Kantsadoun) of Aleppo.
Keshishian assesses the historical, ecclesiastical, and cultural value of these items in the context of the history of the Armenians of Aleppo, the Christian conceptualization of saints and sanctity, and the reverence and worshipping of these sacred relics that exists among Christians.
The items described are crosses of different shapes which decorate the alter.
Keshishian details their inscriptions and motifs and traces their origins. These items represent different schools and styles of Armenian silversmithing and include remarkable samples that range from the 18th to the 20th century. Some of the items were produced in Aleppo, while others were salvaged by the Armenian deportees of Aintab, constituting a precious part of the Zarehian Treasure House collection.
