A baptismal cross for babies and younger kids. Due to the design this 585 (14-karat) rose gold cross is called 'The Golgotha Cross'. 'Golgotha'-style cross symbolizes the baptismal promises and conveys the spiritual significance of that mystery. This cross is recommended for those who intend to receive baptism. It is diamond-cut with a number of canonic inscriptions and symbols. The acronym 'INЦI' atop the cross comes from Church Slavonic 'Іисус Назарянинъ, Царь Іудейскій' or 'Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews'. The acronym 'IC XC' comes from 'Іисусъ Христосъ' (Russian for 'Jesus Christ'). The Skull at the base of the Cross symbolizes the ashes of Adam, the First Man, 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 cleansed the humankind of sin and brought it salvation. Inscription on the reverse reads 'Спаси и Cохрани' (Russian for 'Protect and Save' [me, oh my God]) to dissolve negative energy and protect from demonic attacks.
