Author David Karamian Discusses Khachkar Book in Fresno
“Eternal Armenia: Khatchkars-The CrossStones of Noratus” with author David Karamian
Author David Karamian will discuss his new book, "Eternal Armenia: Khachkars—The CrossStones of Noratus," at an event in Fresno, California. The book explores khachkars, the intricately carved stone crosses that represent a distinctive Armenian cultural and religious tradition. Khachkars have served as monuments, memorials, and artistic expressions throughout Armenian history, with the Noratus khachkar cemetery in Armenia containing one of the world's largest collections of these carved stones. Karamian's work examines the historical, spiritual, and artistic significance of these structures within Armenian heritage. The Fresno event provides Armenian-American community members an opportunity to learn about this important aspect of Armenian cultural identity and to engage with contemporary scholarship on Armenian traditions.
