ANTIQUE c.18th CENTURY LARGE \"OLD BELIEVERS\" ORTHODOX CROSS of the KING OF GLORY:
$99.00

A symbolic image of the skull, or Adam\'s head, buried below theSavior\'s Cross refers to Golgotha (Calvary), the elevated site where Jesus wascrucified, which the Bible says means \"the place of the skull\" inHebrew.Just below the skull, there is a \"МЛРБ\"(\"MLRB\") abbreviation meaning \"The CALVARY (Golgotha) BECAME PARADISE\",a symbol of the execution place becoming a place of the redemption andreclaiming of the lost paradise. An ancient tradition of Catholic and OrthodoxChurches held that it was also the burial place of Adam, thus symbolizing theultimate victory of Christ over sin and death.

The reverse shows traces of a heavily worn off text that appears to be an abbreviated version of Psalm 68 in Church Slavonic beginning with \"MAY GOD ARISE AND MAY HIS ENEMIES BE SCATTERED...\". This psalm-based prayer is traditionally inscribed on the reverse of the Old Believers\' Orthodox body (Baptism) cross pendants, meaning to provide protection of the faithful cross-bearer against the evil spirits (God\'s enemies), and thereby is considered a version of the Exorcism prayer.
