The Cross: What it symbolizes

The cross is the greatest symbol of Christianity. It was sanctified and blessed through 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 the cross. An authentic Athonite craft, it also makes a wonderful gift for loved ones, ensuring they always carry the blessing of Christ with them.
