Woolen Cross Necklace – Woven – Mount Athos

Description

Monastic Cross from Mount Athos

An authentic monastic craft from Mount Athos, reflecting the deep and essential faith of the individual in the Lord. In every monastery, the monks are assigned a task, a service. One of the most common services is the creation of handcrafted items, which are often sold to raise funds for restoration work in the cells and sketes of Mount Athos, which have suffered damage 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 bear all our sins. A sacrifice of compassion, love, and mercy with the sole purpose of saving humanity. The cross is the strongest amulet, and that is why every prayer begins and ends with it. An authentic Athonite craft, which can also serve as a wonderful gift for our loved ones, so they can always carry with them the blessing of Christ.
