Symbolism and application of the item

On the front side of this cross pendant, you can see the Crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ. The eight-pointed cross stands on a little stone platform, which symbolizes the Mount Golgotha, on which our Lord was crucified. According to the legend, the first man, Adam, was buried here. Above Christ‘s head, there are letters: „ИНЦИ“. They mean: „ Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews“ ( In Latin it is „INRI“).
On the backside of the cross, you can see the buying image of the Holy Trinity and the words of Lord‘s prayer. This is undoubtedly the most common prayer used by Christians. The event where prayer was given to us by Christ is recorded in the Gospel of Matthew 6:9–13 as a section of the Sermon on the Mount. It is indeed most daring to address God as our father. It recognizes him above all else as our Creator and most loved Lord. I strongly believe that this cross can be a nice present for any Christian.

Why should you buy this item?

•The use of the Lord‘s prayer is a mark of being Christian;
•It is the prayer Christians pray just before receiving Holy Communion;
•The image of God on the cross has unique spiritual power.
