Authentic cross "Crucifixion with IV Evangelists"

Authentic cross "Crucifixion with IV Evangelists"

The cross is an inalienable symbol associated with Easter. It is the symbol of Jesus Christ - his crucifixion, by which he atones for the sins of the human race. All four evangelists write about Jesus' death on the cross in the Bible. Death on the cross was not a Jewish way of executing people. The Romans had condemned Jesus to death on the cross at the insistence of the Jewish religious leaders who incited the people. Death on the cross is a slow and painful death. In the writings of the Evangelists and the letters of the Apostle Paul, the cross acquires a theological meaning. Through Jesus' death on the cross, his followers were freed from the rod of sin.

The icon of the cross is filled with materials and paints according to the original technology for making Orthodox icons. Gold varac, patina and cracking varnish were used to make the icon look more authentic. The drawing is made with egg tempera according to the original icon painting technology. The reliefs are handmade according to old Byzantine technology.

This lovely work of art is signed by the artist, and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
