On the front side of the cross the Crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ is depicted. On the reverse side is written the initial verse of the protective prayer to the Honorable Cross of the Lord. 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; just as wax melts in the face of fire, so let demons perish from the face of those who love God and signify themselves with the sign of the cross, and who say in joy: Rejoice, Most Honorable and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord, drive away the demons by force on you of our Lord Jesus Christ, who descended into hell and straightened the power the devil, and who gave us His Honest Cross to drive away every adversary. O Most Honest and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord! Help me with the Holy Virgin Mary and with all the saints forever. Amen.”
