Bronze Metal Cross with buying Crucifix, Vintage Orthodox Cross, Standing Table Cross, Metal Art Sculpture, Handmade in Greece

The mysterious power of the cross is as incomprehensible as it is true and indisputable. As with the ancient ascetics, so to this day the sign of the cross was and is buying a powerful weapon against demonic temptations. The most formidable demonic ghosts were dispersed like smoke as soon as a person drew the sign of the cross on himself.The three-barred Cross, as shown above is the most common shape used in the Orthodox Church – whether as simple adornments, crucifixes, or in Icons which show the Cross, the three bars are usually present.The lower, slanted, bar is the foot-rest of the crucifix. All crucifixes would have had these, as no one could be suspended from a cross by nails alone. The cruel death of a crucifixion was not brought about through blood loss, but by lack of oxygen: exhausted, the man is no longer able to stand straight upon the foot-rest, the body sags, and air can no longer be drawn in.The foot-rest of Christ's Cross is slanted because it is believed that in the final moments before Jesus gave up His spirit, His flesh spasmed and the foot-rest was kicked out of place. But in this true event there is also symbolism. The foot-rest points up, toward Heaven, on Christ's right hand-side, and downward, to Hades, on Christ's left.
