Woven Neck Cross – Mount Athos

Description

Monastic Cross from Mount Athos

An authentic monastic handcrafted item from Mount Athos, symbolizing the deep and profound faith of the individual in the Lord. In each monastery, the monks are entrusted with a task, a diaconate. One of the most common tasks is the creation of handicrafts, which in most cases are sold so that the proceeds can be used for restoration work on the cells and sketes of Mount Athos that have suffered damage over time.

Cross: What It Represents

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 amulet, and that is why every prayer begins and ends with it. An authentic Athonite craft, which can also be a wonderful gift for our loved ones, so they may always carry the blessing of Christ with them.
