Handmade Cross Necklace – Mount Athos

Description

Monastic Cross from Mount Athos

An authentic monastic handmade craft from Mount Athos, symbolizing the deep and profound faith of the believer in the Lord. In every monastery, the monks are entrusted with a specific task, a ministry. One of the most common ministries is the creation of handmade crafts, which are often sold to raise funds for the restoration and preservation of the Cells and Sketes of Mount Athos, which have suffered wear and tear over time.

The Cross: What It Represents

The Cross is the greatest symbol of Christianity, sanctified and blessed by the sacrifice of Jesus, who was crucified to bear all our sins. It represents a sacrifice of compassion, love, and mercy, with the sole purpose of saving humanity. The cross is the most powerful talisman, and thus every prayer begins and ends with it. This authentic Athonite craft can also make a wonderful gift for our loved ones, so they may always carry with them the blessing of Christ.
