This beautiful gold-plated crucifix was crafted by Russian monks living and working in The Sofrino Monastery, located in a province near Moscow. Adorned with a figure of Christ crucified and ornamented with ruby/indigo colored resin decorations and beads. It bears the letters IHS symbolizing "Jesus the Savior of Humanity." It is held by the priest in his hand and used at various points in the services delivering the homily or when offering blessings. It is venerated with a kiss by the people at the end of most services indicating the central place of Pascha (Easter) in Orthodoxy. The hand cross is used in blessing and preaching and symbolizes the bishop's office of teaching and sanctifying his flock. It is an additional reminder of the life-giving Crucifixion of the Lord which brought salvation to the whole human race. This item is religious artifact used during various church ceremonies and is made following the long-established canons of the Christian church. It is an indelible addition to any religious collection and would also make for a wonderful church donation or gift.
