Orthodox golden cross "Golgotha" - this is a pleasant and special gift that will be remembered for many years and will leave an indelible mark on the soul. The cross is made of noble silver with niello and has a four-pointed shape with rounded ends. Inside the four-pointed cross there is an eight-pointed cross, which is most characteristic of the Orthodox tradition. The upper vertical crossbar symbolizes the titlo - a tablet on which the guilt of the criminal was usually written, and the lower beveled crossbar is a symbol of the scales of God's judgment.

Under the top step there is a skull, which symbolizes the head of the forefather Adam. On the sides are the words "IC" (Jesus) "HS" (Christ), from above the King of Glory. On the back of the silver cross are written short words of prayer: “May God rise again, and may His enemies be scattered, and may they flee from His face...”.
