Altar Crosses

The altar cross is a cross with the image of a crucifix and a pen that is constantly situated at the altar, along with antimins, the gospel and other obligatory items of church utensils. This cross the priest gives parishioners for kissing at the end of each liturgy, and also gives them a blessing. In addition, it is used during many of the Sacraments of the Church, mainly for blessing at the ending. During the confession, the penitent lays two fingers on the altar cross, lying on the lectern with the Gospel, in an oath that he or she is telling the truth without guile. The priest also carries this cross on a tray during the meeting of the bishop before the service. The bishop kisses the cross, blesses the parishioners and gives the cross for kissing to the clergy.
 

Theological meaning of the Cross

 

In the Orthodox Church, the cross plays a key role, as it is an instrument for the salvation of mankind. During his suffering and death, the Lord Jesus Christ consecrated the cross tree with his Blood, and thereby turned the instrument of torture and execution into a symbol of eternal life and salvation for Christians. The Church Fathers also see a certain symbolism in this. Just as sin and death came into the world through the tree in Eden and the first man, Adam, so through the tree of the Cross by the “new Adam” Jesus Christ the world was redeemed and saved from the deadly action of sin. Due to the importance of the cross in the Orthodox tradition, during each worship service, the priest blesses the parishioners, and at the end of the liturgy gives them a cross for kissing. That is why at the altar cross below has the handle makes for holding. In addition, since such a cross is located on the throne, the largest shrine of the temple, such crosses are decorated with gilding, stones and enamel. Often relics of local saints are embedded in altar crosses.
