Ani church of St Gregory of Tigran Honents Entrance west side view detail 3703

One of some pictures taken of the higher parts near the entrance.

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.
