The winged Armenian Cross has a design where the lower shaft is often slightly longer than the arms and top and all four members have distinctive double tips, making eight points. These eight points represent the eight Beatitudes and are usually capped with small discs. The discs are known as suns, representing the light of Christ.
An ancient-Armenian historian suggested that the upper wing symbolizes love, the lower wing symbolizes modesty, the right symbolizes obedience and the left symbolizes patience.
This style of cross is also known as the Khachkar Cross or Siroun Cross.
