Adoration of the Cross

Hand painted icon of the Adoration of the Cross, made in Mount Athos, on natural wood. The icon is delivered in a wooden box. 

Our Church designated the 3rd Sunday of Lent to worship the Holy Cross of the Lord, for the faithful to receive strength and continue their personal struggle. The sanctifying power of the Cross can bend the physical fatigue of fasting and the mental fatigue of spiritual struggle. The Cross of the Lord is the most divine symbol of the Church and at the same time has great moral significance for all believers. Each one carries his own personal cross and walks with it in the unceasing struggle for salvation, just as the Lord carried His own Cross on Calvary.
