BlessedMart Russian Orthodox Wall Cross - Three Bar Wooden Byzantine Crucifix for Prayer Corner Hanging - 8 Inch

This is a very nice Russian-style Orthodox cross. It measures 7 7/8" x 4 3/4", so it is a nice size for smaller spaces. The design is very attractive, with many classic iconographic elements, including the tools of torment, and blood dripping onto the skull beneath the cross. The figure of Christ is rather small relative to the cross -- only 3" high on a cross that is nearly 8".It is well done for the price and should hold up indefinitely, hanging on a wall.

For some reason, I thought it would be bigger, but this is actually the perfect size for where I have it right now. I'm thinking of ordering another one to have purely devoted for a section that will be my shrine. I had a look at a couple of reviews for this cross before buying it because I got curious, and I took note of what a couple of people had said about the top of the cross where you would have it hang; I took note of the material there, and have taken precautions of having my cross hanging in a unique setup. It's nicely secure, so there's no worries. The detail of the design is so beautiful that I do find myself amazed by it. It doesn't look cheap, and it will serve its purpose of being part of your shrine, or just to have it hanging somewhere in your room or home. I don't think you can put a price on something like this, as I think this is worth every penny. If you are in need of a cross to decorate your home or for a section of your shrine, I'd recommend this without a doubt.

The icon’s craftsmanship, color, and presence are exceptional, with rich tones and careful attention to traditional proportions that draw you into prayer rather than just decoration, the materials feel solid and durable, and the overall quality gives you confidence it will hold up over years of regular use in a home prayer corner.

Beautiful cross! Hanged it on the top of my icon wall.

Extremely nice cross!

Light wood and will be easy to hang up, I love the details and the gold outline. Very beautiful and great for new Orthodox Christians who are looking for something that will be small but big enough.

Good looking cross

Item exceeds expectations. Beautifully decorated wooded Eastern Orthodox Crucifix Cross. Very much value for its cost. Fast shipping Packaging was thin; Did Not provide much protection. No padding, foam, bubble wrap, nor protective cardboard material. The cross was vulnerable to being broken, cracked or chipped during shipping if it was handled roughly, or something heavy, metal or rigid were to fall onto the cross's package. My Sincere Appreciation to the shipping, transportation and delivery staff for ensuring the Cross's safe arrival.
