Aleppo, Syria

If I were a Christian in the Middle East, I would prefer to live in Syria, a country that has spent decades building bridges between religions. Among Syria's Christians are the Armenians. You can tell this church is Armenian by observing (1) the unique khatchcar cross with its double-tipped arms, and (2) the pointed domes reposing on octagonal drums. [1996]
