Did you know?
The Orthodox cross comes in many styles and artistic variations, each rich in symbolism. One common design features a slanted lower bar, which is said to represent the balance of justice, one end pointing toward heaven and the other toward repentance. This slanted bar is also believed to symbolize the two men crucified alongside Jesus: the penitent thief on His right, who was promised paradise, and the unrepentant thief on His left, who rejected salvation. Many Orthodox crosses also bear the inscription "SPASI I SOCHRANI," a traditional Slavic blessing meaning "Save and Protect." Worn as a symbol of faith, it is believed to provide spiritual protection and guidance to the wearer.
