The secrets of Armenian embroidery: symbols, colors and history

Armenian embroidery is the jewel of handmade art. For centuries, it has been used to tell stories, express beliefs, and shape identity.

Symbols: a transmitted legacy

Armenian women have passed down from generation to generation the symbols they have embroidered with their own hands to protect, bring good, or remind us of the values of life.

For example:

The sign of the sun - the source of life and strength,

Four-pointed cross - a symbol of the balance between four elements of nature,

Cross - a symbol of spiritual protection,

Olive branches - a symbol of peace and family stability,

etc.

Colors: each shade has its own story

Colors have a special role in embroidery.

Red - love, life and struggle,

White - purity and faith,

Black - memory, lineage, and the power of time.

These colors are not just beautiful combinations, they are a reflection of the inner world of the Armenians. We will talk a lot about colors later.
