The Cross On The Hill

We had a PCV friend down from Gyumri today- it's a bit of a trek, but he wanted to see the sites of #ScenicSyunik. Kate and I walked him out to Zorats Qarer, but since I've already included a million pictures of the standing stones in this blog, I thought I'd share one of the cross on the hill overlooking Sisian. There are crosses like this one dotting the Armenian landscape across the country. There are at least 2 within sight of Sisian, and most of the surrounding villages have their own. There's also one all the way up on the top of Ishkhanasar, which is pretty incredible when you think about the work it took to haul the great big metal beams all the way up that mountain.
