Ani church of St Gregory of Tigran Honents South side view arcade 5546

view map

One of a series of pictures with details of the arcade, that runs around most of the building, in the higher reaches of the several side. This is a second series, where I tried to get the colour of the stone more in accordance with how it looked then. That is: after restoration, and in an other season.

I was informed that an interlace pattern is part of medieval supersititons. The interlace was believed to trap the evil. Therefore, the interlace is a kind of weapon that protects the church from evil.
