Various rituals and myths are associated with it. The pectoral cross is a symbol of visible faith in One God, the Father Almighty. In the center of the cross is the Crucifix. Above it is the inscription “King of Glory”. The image of the crucified Christ symbolizes the atoning sacrifice that the Son of God gave for us. The back of the cross is decorated with the image of the Mother of God "Oranta", which is the oldest known image of the Mother of God. Orthodox Christians believe that as long as the hands of the Mother of God are raised, the forces of darkness will not be able to overcome the world and subjugate humanity.
