Wood-cutters have discovered a khachkar in the trunk of an oak in
a territory called Karvachar. The khachkar is now in Matruni branch
of the Armenian State Gallery. Since the wood-cutters sold the wood
in this town, they decided to present this miracle to the Gallery
in Martuni.
The kachkar is not complete; only one wing of the cross is in the
oak. According to the specialists, the oak is about 100 years old,
but the age of the khachkar is not defined yet. It is worthwhile to
mention, that the khachkar was not damaged while cutting the trunk,
though the wood-cutters cut the tree right in this part.
