Cilicia Museum to house relic from Noah's Ark

A relic from Noah's Ark found on Mount Ararat by an Italian alpinist has been recently handed to Catholicos Aram I of the Holy See of Cilicia.

The Catholicos issued an order to keep the object in the Cilicia Museum of Antilias, says a press release by the Holy See.

Tita de Lucas who climbed Ararat last year later visited the cathedral of Antilias.

On behalf of the alpinist, Father Vahan Ohanyan of the Mechitarist Congregation gave the relic to Aram I
