Memory of Trees

The Armenian Holy Cross Church‭, ‬built in the 10th‭ ‬century by an Armenian King‭, ‬is seen from‭ ‬a ferryboat on the island of Akhtamar in Lake Van‭, ‬Turkey‭. ‬The church is possibly the most precious symbol of Armenian presence in Turkey and is a popular pilgrimage site today‭.‬
