Four-pointed cross that makes an excellent present for the true believers of any Christian confession. This men's silver cross is distinguished from others by its stylized trapezoidal crossbars. The cross is decorated with meaningful symbols and inscriptions in Church Slavonic language praising the Christ and Christianity (from top to button): ЦРЬ СЛВЫ - acronym signifying 'Царь Славы' (Church Slavonic for 'The King of Glory'), a subtle inner eight-pointed cross (the slanted lower bar represents the footrest of Christ), IC XC - acronym signifying 'Іисусъ Христосъ' (Church Slavonic for 'Jesus Christ'), a CANE topped by a vinegared hyssop sponge denotes weapon used to torture Christ, a LANCE denotes lance of the Roman legionnaire that pierced the body of crucified Christ, and the SKULL symbolizes the ashes of Adam, the First Man, and the Progenitor of the Human Race. According to a legend, the skull at the base of the Cross is that of Adam and the blood shed by Christ over it had cleansed the humankind of sin and brought it salvation.
