During the ceremony of commemorating the sacred martyrs of the Genocide, another sacred name was incensed in the capital city of Tavoush region, by paying tribute to the warmhearted missionary Maria Jacobson, who came from distinct and cold north.
The only statue in memory of Maria Jacobson was erected 30 years ago in Ijevan. The sculpture by Ara Shiraz is a story of self-dedication: a Danish missionary together with the orphans under her care.
