Thickness: 6 mm Weight: 30 gr.; Free stainless steel chain (24 inches-3.5 mm) The cross is made in the form of rays diverging from the central circle, completed by four smaller circles. This form is one of the most common in Byzantium and Ancient Rus, symbolizing the enlightenment of the world by the teaching of Christ. In the central circle on the front side is depicted charisma. This is a monogram composed of two Greek letters X and P or I and X (the initial letters of the name of Christ), and in the outline forming a cross. Christ symbolically depicts the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. The monogram is supplemented by the Greek letters alpha and omega. This is the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, which symbolically indicate the significance of God for the life of the whole universe. "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end," says the Lord, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty. " In the circles at the ends of the crossbars are placed the monograms of the four Evangelists, thanks to which the teaching of Christ became known in all four corners of the earth. Above we see the symbol of the Apostle Matthew, below - the Apostle Mark, on the left and right - the apostles John the Theologian and Luke. The crossbeams of the cross on the obverse and reverse sides are decorated with the “blooming hearts” ornament, a favorite for Christian art. It consists of heart-shaped figures, inside of which are placed stylized lily flowers. In Christianity, the lily is a symbol of purity, holiness and humility before God.
