Knitted Necklace Cross – Mount Athos

Description

Monastic Cross from Mount Athos
An authentic monastic handcrafted item from Mount Athos, symbolizing the deep and essential faith of a person in the Lord. In every monastery, monks are assigned a task or a ministry. One of the most common ministries is the creation of handcrafted items, which are often sold to raise funds for the restoration of cells and hermitages on Mount Athos that have been damaged over time.

Cross: What It Represents
It is the greatest symbol of Christianity, sanctified and blessed by the sacrifice of Jesus, who was crucified to take upon Himself all of our sins. A sacrifice of compassion, love, and mercy with the sole purpose of saving humanity. The cross is the strongest talisman, which is why every prayer begins and ends with it. An authentic Athonite craftsmanship, which can also make a wonderful gift for our loved ones, so they can always carry with them the blessing of Christ.
