This is an authentic handicraft from the Garden of the Virgin Mary, symbolizing deep and essential faith in the Lord. A simple and beautiful design, suitable for all ages, both men and women. Crosses and prayer ropes are among the most common tasks of the monks of the Athonite State. In each monastery, the monks are entrusted with a specific task, a ministry, such as the creation of these handicrafts, which are often sold to raise funds for restoration work in the cells and sketes of Mount Athos that have been damaged by time.

Cross: What it symbolizes

The cross is the greatest symbol of Christianity. It was sanctified and blessed through 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 strongest amulet, which is why every prayer we make begins and ends with the cross. An authentic Athonite handicraft, it can also serve as a beautiful gift for our loved ones, so they always carry with them the blessing of Christ.
