Canonical rules for making body crosses of the “Crucifixion” type. Introduction to the Temple of the Blessed Virgin Mary" provide an image on the front side of the image of the crucified Jesus Christ. In the Orthodox tradition, this image represents not so much the suffering of the Lord, but rather His greatness and triumph over death. Above the Cross is the Prepared Throne, in Greek - Ethymasia. The Lord prepared this Throne for Himself through His suffering. He will sit on it at the end of time to judge the living and the dead. The reverse part of the silver cross is dedicated to the Most Holy Theotokos, Her Entry into the Temple - one of the most revered holidays of the Orthodox faith. Having loved the Church with all her heart, the Mother of God helps everyone who comes to her for confessional prayer.
