Woven Neck Cross – Mount Athos

Description

Monastic Cross from Mount Athos

An authentic monastic handcrafted item from Mount Athos, which reflects the deep and profound faith of a person 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 handcrafts, which are often sold so that the proceeds can be used for restoration work on the cells and sketes of Mount Athos, which have been damaged over 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 strongest talisman, and that is why every prayer begins and ends with it. An authentic Athonite handcraft that can also serve as a wonderful gift for our loved ones, so that they always carry with them the blessing of Christ.
