What is an Eastern / Russian Orthodox Cross?

The Eastern Orthodox Cross has many different names including the Russian Orthodox Cross, the Crux Orthodoxa, the Byzantine cross, the Eastern cross, the Suppendaneum Cross and the Russian cross.

It is similar to the Patriarchal cross, but has 2 smaller bars, one at the top and one near the bottom (diagonal) as well as the longer crossbeam. The upper bar represents the sign "INRI," ("Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews") the mocking title bestowed on Christ by the Romans in the New Testament account of the crucifixion. The lower bar represents the footrest (suppendaneum) to which the feet of Jesus were nailed. One tradition says that this comes from the idea that as Jesus took his last breath, the bar his feet were nailed to broke, thus slanting to the side. Another tradition holds that the lower end points to hell, and the upper to heaven, representing the destinies of the two thieves crucified with Christ. The first thief, repentant, went to heaven, the second, who did not regret his sin, to hell. In this way it reminds the believer of the Last Judgment.

''The wood from the Tree of Life, those who grasp it will experience eternal Happiness...'' Proverbs 3:18

Environmentally friendly as they are made only from the prunings of ancient olive trees growing in the Bethlehem region, the site of the nativity of Jesus (Matt 2, Luke 2).

Information about olive wood:

Olive trees are indigenous to the Holy Land and are treasured because the oil from their fruit has been used for religious rites since biblical times. The olive wood used in these beautiful products is of the highest quality and is distinctive for its dark lines. It comes only from olive wood trees that are grown in the area between Shechem and Hebron that are not irrigated. The olive tree is a protected species in Israel and cannot be cut down. Once every two years the olive trees are pruned so that they bear fruit and it is from these prunings that these handcrafted pieces are made. The prunings are stored for almost 5 years until they are dry enough to carve, before they are used by the craftsmen for these exquisite pieces.

Olive wood items make perfect gifts. Not only are they imbued with spirituality, they also do not require much care since olive oil is naturally protecting them from corrosion and changes of color.

Please note - this is not the ACTUAL picture of the product you will receive. I have been selling these products for years and sell thousands of products a year. Olive wood varies in texture, grain and colour depending on how old the branches were before they were trimmed - this adds to its beauty - just like no two snowflakes are the same, neither are two pieces of olive wood. Some pieces will have more lines and markings, some might have none. There might be knots in the wood in some places - this is because it is a natural product and adds to its beauty.
