The cross is connected to the image of the Guardian Angel. The tradition of placing images of saints or angels on gate icons is quite ancient. In archaeological treasures, starting from the 16th century, there are already images of the Guardian Angel, initially just on the reverse sides of the crosses. For Christians, since ancient times, this image is associated with calling on the prayerful help of their Angel on a long and difficult road, in troubles and misfortunes - that is why the figure of the Angel is represented with a sword in his hand. But it is no less important to remember that the Guardian Angel is given to a person in the sacrament of baptism and is a faithful assistant to the Christian in preserving and increasing the grace given in the sacrament and strengthening him on the path to holiness to which we are all called.
Inscription on the front side: "Save and preserve".
On the back side: "Angel of the Lord, Guardian of man, drive away by demon".
