Description: Russian Orthodox Cross Pendant CRUCIFIXION. ARCHANGEL MICHAEL, 925 Sterling Silver & 24K Gold Plated, Akimov Jewelry This beautifully handcrafted Orthodox cross pendant reflects the spiritual strength and divine protection of the Church Militant. Designed in the shape of a sword, it symbolizes the Christian's fight against evil with the power of faith, love, and hope. Featuring the Crucifixion of Christ on the front and the Archangel Michael on the reverse, this pendant embodies salvation, courage, and heavenly protection. Symbol of Redemption and Salvation: The front features the Crucifixion of Christ, surrounded by symbols of His Passion, including the sponge, spear, and the Jerusalem Wall. The letters "МЛРБ" ("Place of the Skull, Paradise Became") highlight Golgotha as the gateway to Paradise. Heavenly Protection: The reverse showcases the Archangel Michael, the leader of the heavenly hosts, flanked by warriors of Christ, Theodore Tiron and John the Warrior, symbolizing divine guardianship. Rich Spiritual Imagery: Above the Crucifixion is the Throne of Judgment (Ethymasia), a symbol of Christ's future judgment. Below Archangel Michael is a prayer: "Life-Giving Cross, be my strength and victory," expressing faith in divine protection. Exceptional Craftsmanship: Handmade using traditional casting, gilding, blackening, and relief techniques, the cross is meticulously detailed, showcasing Orthodox artistry. Premium Materials: Crafted from 925 Sterling Silver with 24K gold plating, the pendant weighs approximately 0.42 oz (12 g) and measures 1.65 x 0.98 inches (42 x 25 mm, including the bail). Meaningful Gift: This pendant is ideal for military personnel, spiritual warriors, or anyone seeking divine strength and protection, delivered in elegant packaging. This sword-shaped cross represents the Church Militant, the spiritual battle against the forces of darkness described by Apostle Paul: "Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes" (Ephesians 6:11). The front side portrays Christ's triumphant Crucifixion, with Adam's skull at the base, symbolizing humanity's redemption through His sacrifice. The surrounding saints-Theodore Stratilates, Demetrius of Thessalonica, and Panteleimon the Healer-serve as protectors and intercessors for those in need of courage and healing. The reverse is crowned by the Archangel Michael, standing as a mighty protector of God's people. Flanked by Theodore Tiron and John the Warrior, he leads the heavenly army against evil forces. Above him is the "Not Made by Hands" image of Christ, a sacred symbol of divine defense, often displayed on Russian military banners and crosses. Designed by the renowned artists Sergej Akimov, Irina Nikitina, and the Akimov Jewelry team, this cross pendant is a masterpiece of spiritual artistry. Handmade in Lithuania by DONA DEI under Akimov Jewelry licensing, it combines exceptional quality with profound symbolism. Every detail, from the intricate reliefs to the gold-plated accents, reflects its sacred significance. Whether worn as a personal keepsake or gifted to honor someone in the military or spiritual service, the "Crucifixion and Archangel Michael" cross is a powerful symbol of faith, protection, and triumph over darkness.
