The Spear of Destiny (or holy lance) is legendarily known as the lance that pierced the side of Jesus as he hung on the cross. Design is based on the holy lance relic on display at the Etchmiadzin cathedral in Armenia.
The statue of Mother Armenia overlooks the capital city Yerevan. First unveiled in 1950, it replaced the statue of Joseph Stalin in 1962 and is a symbol of national and female strength.
