Description

Monastic Cross from Mount Athos

An authentic monastic handmade creation from Mount Athos, symbolizing the deep and profound faith of humanity in the Lord. In every monastery, monks are entrusted with a specific duty, known as a “diakonima.” One of the most common duties is crafting handmade items, which are often sold to fund restoration work on cells and hermitages in Mount Athos that have suffered damage over time.

The Cross: Its Symbolism

It 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 mercy, love, and compassion, aimed solely at the salvation of humanity. The cross is the most powerful amulet, which is why every prayer begins and ends with it. An authentic handcrafted item from Mount Athos, it also makes a wonderful gift for our loved ones, enabling them to carry Christ’s blessing with them at all times.
