Cross - Reliquary "Lord Almighty. Mother of God" made in the shape of an equal-armed cross. The Holy Fathers call this form of the cross as Christ and a sign of His victory. The center combines two geometric shapes: a square and a circle, sky and earth.
In the center of the cross is the face of Jesus, "the Lord Almighty"; On the sides are the Mother of God and John the Baptist, bowed in prayer. Such a composition in iconography is called “Deesis”. At the bottom are Adam and Eve, raising their hands in prayer. At the top is the throne of God, the throne prepared for Jesus, on which he will sit during the apocalypse.
On the reverse side of the reliquary, in the center is the face of the Mother of God, above her is an icon of the patron saint of family and marriage - Archangel Gabriel. At the bottom of the cross there is an icon with images of the brothers Samon and Guria, with Deacon Aviva with them. To the right and left of the Mother of God are images of the holy martyrs of the spouses who, both in life and after death, managed to preserve the holy marriage, Adrian and Natalia and the venerables: Peter and Fevronia of Murom.
