On the front side of the cross is depicted the Crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ. On the back - an icon of the Protection of the Holy Virgin.
The Feast of the Intercession of the Mother of God is a remembrance of the miracle that occurred in Vlachner Church on October 1 (14), 910: The Blessed Virgin appeared to the believers above the altar of the temple and spread out Her veil above them. On this day, the Mother of God revealed to the people that She is a Meddler for them before God.
All requests for protection addressed to the Mother of God will be heard if they come from the depths of the heart. Prayer to this image is able to protect from all evils, ills and ailments. She surrounds everyone with her sacred omophorion, giving a sense of security and grace.
