Description
Monastic Cross from Mount Athos
An authentic monastic handcrafted item from Mount Athos, symbolizing the deep and essential faith of man in the Lord. In every monastery, the monks are assigned a task, a ministry. One of the most common ministries is the creation of handcrafted items, which are usually sold in order for the proceeds to be used for restoration work on the cells and sketes of Mount Athos that have suffered damage over time.
The Cross: What It Symbolizes
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 compassion, love, and mercy, with the sole purpose of saving humanity. The Cross is the most powerful talisman, which is why every prayer begins and ends with it. An authentic Athonite handcrafted item, which can also make a wonderful gift for our loved ones, so that they always carry with them the blessing of Christ.
Origin: Mount Athos
