Artwork from Mount Athos: What It Depicts

On one side of this cross there is a relief representation of the Virgin Mary with the Holy Zone. The Holy Zone of the Virgin Mary is the only Holy Heirloom related to the earthly life of the Virgin Mary. It is a belt made by the Virgin Mary herself from camel hair and it is said that it reached the hands of the Apostle Thomas in a miraculous way. On the reverse side of the cross there is the representation of the Crucified, with Christ on the cross of martyrdom, the supreme sacrifice   for the sake of humanity.
