Abstract
On the exterior walls of the Armenian Church in Famagusta, several carved crosses of various types stand out. Being somewhat irregularly spread over the church facades, they seem to have been carved not by master artists but rather by ordinary believers who visited the church and left traces of their pilgrimage. Based on style and location of these crosses as well as on comparanda with Armenian and other religious sites, the present chapter provides an interpretation, according to which the crosses in question are likely late medieval pilgrim graffiti.
