Orthodox wooden cross (Byzantine)

This high-quality Orthodox wooden cross depicts the Crucifixion of Christ in traditional Byzantine iconography. The depiction is rich in theological symbolism and follows classical models of the Eastern Church. The icon is precisely mounted on a beautifully crafted, dark-contoured wooden cross, and the warm wood grain lends it a particularly dignified appearance.

Besides the crucified Lord, the cross displays other iconographic elements such as the Mandylion (Holy Face of Christ) in the upper area, angels honoring the instruments of the Passion, and the skull of Adam at the foot of the cross – a powerful symbol of redemption and resurrection.

It is ideal for prayer corners, home icons, liturgical spaces and as a spiritual gift for church occasions.
