Faith on horseback. Surb Sarkis Zoravar — Saint Sarkis the Warrior — is among the most beloved figures of the Armenian Church: a fourth-century commander who chose martyrdom over renouncing his faith, and whose son Mardiros fell at his side. Patron of youth and of love, his winter feast remains one of the most cherished days on the Armenian calendar. This back design renders him in full icon style — haloed and armored on a pale horse, staff raised, his son beside him with the gospel in hand, framed by great metalwork wings and the khachkar cross that anchors the whole composition. The soldier who never surrendered the faith.
