The red worm was used by the ancient Armenians as a symbol of UNITY. This color has dominated the various flags of all the provinces of historical Armenia, the houses of power. During the reign of Tigran II, the vassal kings who accepted Armenian allegiance painted the top of their flags red with wormwood, thus confirming their loyalty to the Armenian king.

Miniature is the illustration of a manuscript or flowering. It is a work of fine art, which is distinguished by its small size and subtle artistic tricks. The pattern was used in the Gospel in the 7th century.
