Russian Orthodox Cross Pendant with Silver Crucifix

Sterling Silver Double Sided Orthodox Russian Cross with Silver Crucifix. Hand crafted in Russia. On the reverse side is the Slavonic phrase “spasi I sokhrani”, meaning “save and protect”.

While explaining the Last Judgement he tilted the foot plate to signify that those on the right side of Christ will go up into heaven and those on the left will go down into hell.
