Armenian Cross

This cross symbolizes Armenian heritage. I am half Armenian and half Scottish. My siblings and I were given this charm by a family friend who got it in Armenia. This charm was hand made in Armenia and you can see the hard work and detail that goes into it. I grew up in an Armenian church with my father as the pastor, we would sing Armenian hymns and listen to sermons in Armenian. I feel as if this charm gives a good representation about who my family is and where I come from. I am a first generation American as my parents moved to the states in 2001 so this charm feels as a connecting factor to my heritage.
