Ich habe dieses armenische Kreuz gefunden, das von der örtlichen armenischen Gemeinde geschenkt wurde. Anscheinend ist der in dieser Kirche begrabene Heilige unserer Stadt ein ethnischer Armenier aus Anatolien.

Indeed! Saint Servatius is assumed to have been Armenian and is the patron Saint of Maastricht.

Although if he was from Anatolia (I.e. Anatolian peninsula) or Armenian Highlands is unknown.
And btw what you see is called khackar https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khachkar
“Chatsjkar” will haunt me till the end of my days.
what city?
It’s in Maastricht, I was there at the opening ceremony.
And a very beautiful one
Truly beautiful. Amazing that we have historical artifacts instantly recognizable as our own. Great post!
Maastricht? There is also a statue dedicated to st. Servaas somewhere in Maastricht
