Description

Monastic Cross from Mount Athos

An authentic monastic handmade item from Mount Athos, symbolizing the deep and essential faith of man in the Lord. In each monastery, the monks are assigned a task, a ministry. One of the most common ministries is the creation of handmade items, which are often sold in order for the proceeds to be used for restoration work on 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, 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, which is why every prayer begins and ends with it. An authentic Athonite handmade item, which can also make a wonderful gift for our loved ones, so that they always have Christ’s blessing with them.
