    Cathedral

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ An ancient wooden 17th century cross, destroyed by
    vandals, was restored in Kiev's Armenian Cathedral.
    Restoration was conducted under the guidance of Lvov restorer Yuri
    Ostrovskiy.
    An interesting detail was discovered in the course of restoration:
    feet of crucified Christ were left without special protective layer
    the whole cross was initially covered with. Despite the absence of
    lacquer coating, 200-year-old uncoated wood was not damaged. This was
    the part of crucifix most often touched by the believers, which, in
    masters opinion, created a peculiar biological aura, appearing to have
    better effect than chemicals would, Analitika.at.ua reported.
