Abstract
<jats:p>This article examines the symbolic meaning of the right hand in Armenian cultural and spiritual traditions. For centuries, the right hand has been regarded as a bearer of healing power, blessing, and moral strength. Its role is explored in folk medicine, belief systems, and rituals, ranging from magical healing practices to Christian ceremonies. Special attention is given to the veneration of saints’ right-hand relics and their connection to both pre-Christian and Christian traditions. The symbolic interpretation of the right hand is placed in a comparative cultural context, highlighting the uniqueness of Armenian traditions while reflecting broader universal patterns. The analysis demonstrates that the symbolism of the right hand has preserved its relevance, not only historically but also in shaping modern spiritual and cultural identity.</jats:p>
