If you want to present not a piece of jewelry, but
a creed, do not go to the jewelry store for it. Among a large number of jewelry, it is easy to make a mistake and buy not a Christian symbol, but its likeness, which is not related to religion. Orthodox crosses can be four-, six- or eight-pointed, on the back there is usually an inscription “Save and save”. As a rule, the same cross accompanies a person all his life from the moment of baptism; a new one is worn only when the old one is lost or broken. A male golden cross bought in a church shop will already be consecrated with a special rite and exactly corresponds to all Orthodox canons. It should be worn, without taking off, under clothes, and not flaunted, because this is not an ornament, but an object of religious worship. If you purchased a cross in jewelry, be sure to take it to consecrate to the church.
