The upper bar represents the inscription -- abbreviated 'INRI' -- that Pilote had placed above Jesus' head. The meaning of the slanted bar is lost in legend. One story came at His death caused the cross to tilt. Another explanation (probably the correct one) is that the slanted bar forms St. Andrew's cross. St. Andrew is believed to have introduced Christianity to Russia. Features beautiful blue crystals. Highly detailed. This piece is a brand new fine crafted pewter pendant necklace. It is made from the highest quality 100% pewter inside and out. Nickle-free. Comes ready to wear with a jewelry black rope necklace or you could put it on your favorite chain. Just amazing! Precious Metal Color Length to tip of pendant Pewter Silver 1.8 inches Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Loved it! Beautiful cross. It came with the black cord attached, which is adjustable. I wasn't expecting the cord to come with the cross so that was a pleasant surprise. My 13 year old daughter loves it. Rating: - I love this cross This cross is beautiful and greatly crafted. I've had mine for several months and I wear it all the time. I've been looking for a home church and wearing this cross actually introduced me to the leaders of an African Orthodox church - I was surprised because I thought (living in the Bible Belt) that there weren't any Orthodox churches around here. I was VERY surprised to find out that there are TWO! I love the cross, I receive compliments on it all the time. Not many people know the origin of it, or what religion it comes from, but those who do admire it. Those who don't slanderize my beliefs. Then again, I live in the Bible Belt. I'm very glad for this purchase, this cross is priceless to me, it's become part of me and I wear it everywhere. It has weight to it, but it's not heavy, you definitely know it's there though!
