Symbolism and application of the item

There is an interesting story about the name of this cross. Church tradition reports that the ...first image of Jesus Christ appeared by itself during His earthly life, without any human participation, which is why it received the name "Image not made by hands", in Greek "Mandylion", in the Russian tradition - "Savior Not made by hands".

This is a very special image of Christ. The legends about this image go back to the beginning of the 4th century. The legend is about the sick king of Edessa who told his servant Chanan to bring Jesus a letter in which he asked Jesus to come and heal him. He also told his servant to draw the portrait of Jesus in case He could not come and bring this portrait back home. The servant found Jesus in the middle of a big crowd. When Jesus noticed that the servant wanted to draw His portrait, he washed his face and dried it with a headscarf, leaving the imprint of His wet face on the material. He asked the servant to bring the scarf and His response to the king. The king was healed from his main illness, and later on, after the visit of one of Jesus's apostles, he regained all his health. So, according to the legend, this image has special healing power, healing not only physical but spiritual wounds as well. The same miraculous power has the image of the Guardian Angel. According to Christian ideas, at baptism, the Lord gives everyone a Guardian Angel, who is invisible to a Christian throughout his life. An angel protects a person from evil forces, prays to God for him, instructs in good deeds, and promotes abstinence from sin. The very form of this nice pectoral cross is interesting. This small pectoral cross with the Image of the Savior Not Made by Hands on the front side and the icon of the Guardian Angel on the back was created in the traditions of the Orthodox Church using ancient Christian symbols. In the artistic decoration of ancient churches, one can often see a cross made up of circles. This is a symbol of the Divine fullness and harmony of the universe. Circle - a sign of Eternity, Heaven, and God.
