Description

Wooden Neck Cross from Mount Athos
An authentic handcrafted item from the Virgin Mary’s garden, symbolizing humanity’s deep and profound faith in the Lord. Its simple and elegant design makes it suitable for people of all ages, both men and women. Crosses and prayer ropes are among the most common crafts of the monks in the Athonite community. In each monastery, monks are assigned various tasks, known as diakonia, such as crafting these items. In most cases, the proceeds from their sale are used to fund the restoration of cells and hermitages on Mount Athos that have suffered damage over time.

The Cross: Its Symbolism
The Cross is the greatest symbol of Christianity. It was sanctified and blessed through the sacrifice of Jesus, who was crucified to bear all our sins. His sacrifice was one of mercy, love, and compassion, with the sole purpose of saving humanity. The Cross is the most powerful amulet, which is why every prayer begins and ends with it.

This authentic Athonite craft also makes a wonderful gift for our loved ones, so they can always carry the blessing of Christ with them.
