Buy an impeccable gift for the Orthodox baptism! This Orthodox cross symbolizes the Trinity and the Resurrection. The cross is made of 585 rose gold and hallmarked by the Russian government assay office. It is decorated with an elaborately laser engraved inscriptions in Church Slavonic language praising the Christ and Christianity: IC XC (Jesus Christ), IНЦI (Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews), and NИКА (from the Greek verb nikē - conquest). This word at the base of the cross is reminiscent of the Appearance of the Cross with the inscription "In this sign thou shalt conquer" before the Emperor Constantine to signify the triumph of Christ's over death and hell. The reverse of the cross features an ever-present message 'Спаси и Cохрани' ('Save and Protect').
