Cross: What It Symbolizes

The cross is the greatest symbol of Christianity, which was 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, and that is why every prayer begins and ends with it. An authentic Athonite handcrafted item, which can also serve as a wonderful gift for our loved ones, so they always have Christ’s blessing with them.
