Gold St. Ksenia Cross Pendant (10kt)
24074-CRSS
$250.00
Solid 10kt Gold
Dimensions: 3/4" wide by 1 3/8" high
A 19th century Slavic design engraved with the Russian St. Andrew Cross, with IC XC for "Jesus Christ", a dove symbolizing the holy spirit, and a floral design at the base, indicating that the cross has been planted in Paradise and is the tree of life. Tradiiton teaches that when the Apostle Andrew preached in southern Russia he placed a life-size three-bar cross at his side. While explaining the Last Judgment he tilted the foot plate to signify that those on the right side of Christ will go up into heaven and those on the left will go down into hell. On the reverse is the Slavonic phrase "spasi I Sokhrani", meaning "save and protect".

Nevsky's Books is proud to feature this exceptional cross. Meticulously hand-carved from maple wood, the outer layer exhibits bright, red garnets and the breathtaking carving of the Prayer to the Venerable Cross along the edge:
The core is masterfully fitted with inlaid cypress wood, featuring the crucifixion of our Lord. On the right arm of the crucifix are carvings of the Mother of God and St. Mary Magdalene. The left arm depicts St. John the Apostle and St. Longinus the Centurion. Two angels grace to top bar, bearing the words "Царь Славы" or "King of Glory."
Four garnets surround the "Not-made-by-hands Image of Christ," to which a smooth, adjustable wood-and-link chain is secured.
Inscribed on the back of this beautiful cross is the powerful verse:
