Uniquely elaborated with hot enamel, this Russian silver cross is an excellent choice for those looking for a christening cross. This body cross decorated by traditional inscriptions in Church Slavonic language praising the Lord and Christianity: The acronym IHЦI (INRI) represents the inscription "Іисус Назарянинъ, Царь Іудейскій" (Latin: "Iēsus Nazarēnus, Rēx Iūdaeōrum", English: 'Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews') placed atop the cross as ordered by Pontius Pilate, IC XC (Іисусъ Христосъ-Jesus Christ), and NИКА (означает победу Христом смерти и ада-signifies Christ’s triumph over death and purgatory). The reverse of the cross features an ever-present inscription 'Спаси и сохрани' (Protect and save me, oh my God) typical for Russian Orthodox crosses. It may be considered as either a children's cross or a women's cross.
