The Church of the Holy Cross at Aght'amar is a well-preserved medieval Armenian architectural gem on an island in Lake Van; its exterior sculptures and interior murals offer insight into the tenth-century Armenian kingdom of Vaspurakan, created by King Gagik. Davies interprets the art and biblical imagery, highlighting its contemporary relevance.
