Description
Concrete religious cross. Fragile ornament. Wall hanging.
Religious outdoor statues are not only beautiful, but also serve as a great encouragement to live a life full of faith and love. The Cross means many things to many people. Some have it displayed on their mantel, others wear it around their neck, place it near gravesites, memorials or in their garden or house.
The Cross is the mighty and profound symbol of Christianity, a symbol whose meaning is inexhaustible. The eight-pointed Cross is the symbol of Orthodoxy.
Gazing upon the Cross with his mind and heart, the Christian goes deeper into that symbol and grows spiritually. Just as a plant needs fertile soil, moisture, and sunlight in order to grow, so a Christian needs the Cross of Christ in his spiritual and physical life, for the Cross of Christ provides him with nourishment, drink, warmth, and light.
The Cross teach us humility and patience, sobriety and discernment, purity of heart, faith, hope and Christ’s sincere love, love that is so sharply different from ordinary human love. Ordinary earthly love is egocentric and selfish, while Christ’s true love is sacrificial and compassionate. The guide to true love is always the Cross, from which true love in fact is “more powerful than death.”
