Someone asked me by email if I had crosses as henna patterns ..... yes ..... even with some decent provenance.

In Armenia, men often (for weddings or special occasions) have a cross hennaed on their bicep in imitation of the priests, who have a cross tattooed on their arms. Through the medieval period, Christians who had made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem or so would have a cross tattooed on their right arm ... with the notion that the hand of God would guide all their actions.

If you would like Armenian cross patterns for hennaeing for Easter, email me. Free. I have a page of Celtic crosses, too, if you don't already have them.
