Art composition of the cross is typical for Christian Deisis (Деисус) with the Virgin Mary (Mother of God) and St. John the Baptist as intercessors on either side of Christ. Symbols and Inscriptions in Church Slavonic language praising Our Heavenly Father and Christianity: Guardian Angel flying above the cross is assigned by God to look over each person in this world, СНЪ БЖIЙ means 'Son of God', 'IC XC' - 'Іисусъ Христосъ' (Church Slavonic for 'Jesus Christ'), MP OY (Богоматерь - 'Virgin Mary, Mother of God'), Mother of God and Christ at the base of the Cross illustrates the perfect relationship between Mother and Son. The reverse of the cross features inscription 'Спаси и сохрани' (Russian for 'Save and Protect [me, oh my God']) and prayer 'Спаси, Господи, люди Твоя...'*

*Спаси, Господи, люди Твоя и благослови достояние твое; победы православным христианом на сопротивныя даруя, и Твое сохраняя Крестом Твоим жительств.
