ABOUT THE EASTERN/RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CROSS
The Eastern Orthodox Cross, also known as the Russian Orthodox Cross, is rich in symbolism and history. This cross features three crossbeams: the upper bar represents the inscription “INRI” (Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews), the middle bar is the main crossbeam, and the lower diagonal bar symbolizes the footrest (suppendaneum) to which Jesus? feet were nailed. The diagonal bar is often interpreted as a reminder of the Last Judgment, with one side pointing upward toward salvation and the other downward toward condemnation.
