<...p>Symbolism and application of the itemThis is really a unique cross. Its design is exceptional. It has the form of the Maltese cross. On the front side, we can see another cross, which symbolizes crucifixion, though there is no figure of Jesus Christ. In the Orthodox Church, there have always been pectoral crosses both with the image of the Lord and without him, because the cross itself, as the great and victorious weapon of Christ, has been revered since the apostolic times as the main sacred symbol of Christianity. On the backside there is a short prayer: "Lord, have mercy on me". The crucifixion is decorated with zirconia, an artificial diamond. The pure color of cubic zirconia symbolizes the depth and purity of God's love. Though cubic zirconia is an artificial diamond, its production is very complex and it is a valuable diamond. But God's love is worth more than thousands of diamonds. It is priceless. The cross is gilded, using the hot enameling technique. Hot enamel is a thin layer of colored glass that undergoes high-temperature processing. This cross can be a valuable gift to any believer.
