The Triumphant Shield of Orthodoxy Pectoral Cross

$1,200.00

The radiant gold lines extending outward from the center of the cross symbolize the Divine Light — the uncreated light of the Resurrection. In the Orthodox Christian tradition, the Cross is not viewed solely as an instrument of suffering, but also as the triumphant sign of Christ’s victory over death and the glory of the Resurrection.

The distinctive fullness of the design, with its expanding rounded forms and interwoven symmetry, symbolized the shield-like presence of the power of the cross. The flowing radiant aesthetic symbolizes the Gospel going forth to the four corners of the earth, gathering all creation beneath the saving power of the Holy Cross.

Gold plated cross. Chain and case included.
