Black Woven Neck Cross – Saint Paisios – Mount Athos

Description

Monastic Cross from Mount Athos with Wooden Icon of Saint Paisios
An authentic monastic handicraft from Mount Athos, symbolizing a person’s deep and meaningful faith in the Lord. In every monastery, monks are entrusted with a particular duty, known as a diakonima (obedience). One of the most common obediences is the creation of handmade items, which are often sold in order to raise funds for the restoration of cells and sketes on Mount Athos that have been damaged by time.

The Cross: Its Symbolism
The cross is the greatest symbol of Christianity, sanctified and blessed by the sacrifice of Jesus, who was crucified to take upon Himself all our sins. A sacrifice of mercy, love, and compassion, with the sole purpose of saving humanity. The cross is considered the most powerful spiritual protection, which is why every prayer begins and ends with it. This is an authentic handcrafted piece from Mount Athos and makes a meaningful and spiritual gift for loved ones, carrying with it the blessing of Christ.
