Pope sends medal to Armenian miniaturist

Pope Francis has sent a medal and a signed photo to Armenian micro miniaturist Eduard Ter-Ghazaryan.

The miniaturist carved the Pope’s smallest portrait and handed it over to the Pontiff during the latter’s visit to Armenia in June.

“Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin handed me a surprise gift from Pope Francis, a medal and a signed photo,” Eduard Ter-Ghazaryan said in a Facebook post.
