The front side of the cross depicts the Crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ. On both sides he faces the Most Holy Theotokos and St. the prophet and Forerunner of the Lord John the Baptist, who has special boldness before God to pray for all people. At the top is an icon of the Holy Trinity. This is the image of the Triune God, who appeared in the form of three angels to the forefather Abraham. On the ear is depicted the Miracle Image of the Lord Jesus Christ, revered as one of the most powerful protective symbols of Orthodoxy. Below is the Great Martyr George the Victorious, one of the most revered saints of the Christian Church, patron of warriors, assistant in peasant labor, spiritual assistant in the invisible battle with the forces of evil. On the back below there is a depiction of the holy noble prince Alexander Nevsky, who is revered as the protector of Orthodox Christians and the patron of warriors. In the center of the reverse is written a short prayer, which is traditionally placed on all crosses: “Save and preserve.” The initial verse of the protective prayer to the Honorable Cross of the Lord is written around it. This prayer is read in danger, and also carried with oneself for protection from evil forces: “May God rise again, and may His enemies be scattered, and may those who hate Him flee from His face. As smoke disappears, let them disappear; As wax melts in the presence of fire, so let demons perish in the presence of those who love God.”
