House Shrines

When a village does not have the means to build a church often times people create unofficial places of worship within their own homes. Sometimes a mini shrine as a place for worship is created with objects like religious imagery, incense containers, stones or items that were taken home from a pilgrimage are put on display. In this video, Collections Curator Gary Lind-Sinanian highlights objects that were found in an interesting sacred place from the home of Aghavny Demirjian.
