Is it possible to wear a cross without a crucifix. Jewelry in the online store "Angel"


The cross is an indicator of belonging to the Christian faith. From our article you will find out whether it is possible to wear someone else's cross and why it cannot be worn over clothes.

The cross, according to the clergy, should always be on a believer. But there are also prohibitions associated with it. Some of them are nothing more than superstitions, which a believer should not even think about. These include, for example, darkening of the cross. But this is far from the only question that a believer may have about his cross.

Cannot be worn on a chain

There are absolutely no restrictions on the chain. Here, rather, the question of convenience and habit is more important. If a person wants to wear a pectoral cross on a chain, then he can do it, such actions are not forbidden by the church. The most important principle to follow in this case is that the cross does not get lost and does not fly off the neck. Both lace and chain are acceptable. Superstitious people, however, assure that, according to all signs, the cross is not lost just like that.

Cannot be worn over clothing

This is an absolutely true statement. The cross is a symbol of faith and protection. By not wearing a cross outside, a person shows the sincerity of faith, without making it ostentatious. Also, all the warmth and blessing that the priest gives to the pectoral cross during the consecration, in this case, is transferred only to you.

Can't give

You can always give a cross. Of course, it's great if parents or godparents take care of it, as one of the christening gifts. But this does not mean that the other person cannot give you a cross. There is also such a tradition when two people exchange pectoral crosses, becoming brothers or sisters in Christ. Usually this is done by close people.

Cannot be picked up if found

A superstition that has absolutely no basis. We also recall that superstitions are completely not recognized by the church and are considered incompatible with the Christian faith. There are people who believe that by raising the found cross, one can take on the problems of the person who lost or left it. The cross, since it is a shrine, must at least be brought to the temple. Or keep it for yourself and store it in a red corner in the house.

You can not wear someone else's cross

If you got a cross from a parent or someone you know, you can wear it. The church does not establish any prohibition here. Especially if you don't have a cross. Many people believe that things are endowed with the energy of their owner and it can be transferred to a new owner. They may also argue that by giving away a cross, a person gives away a piece of his Destiny. Only such beliefs have nothing to do with the Christian faith and belong to the occult worldview.

You can not wear a cross with a crucifix

Another superstition that you should not pay attention to. There are people who say that a cross with a crucifix will bring a hard life on a person. This is not true at all, just people's speculation. Such a cross symbolizes the salvation and sacrifice of Christ, there is nothing wrong with it. But you need to wear it correctly: the crucifix should not be turned towards you, but outward.

You can not wear an unconsecrated cross

The cross is best to consecrate. But as such, there is no ban on wearing an unconsecrated pectoral cross. It is believed that evil spirits bypass even two crossed sticks. Nevertheless, a believer should still consecrate his creed.

You can choose any cross that you like: gold, silver, copper or wood. The material is not very important. It is important to consecrate it and not wear jewelry bought in a jewelry store as a cross. It must be understood that the church Orthodox cross, which symbolizes faith in God, differs from beautiful, but purely decorative crosses. They do not carry a spiritual load and are not related to faith.

There are also many signs and beliefs associated with the cross. To believe in them or not is up to you. All the best, and don't forget to press the buttons and

Our dreams are a reflection of our consciousness. They can tell us a lot about our future, past...

What should be Orthodox pectoral cross? Wooden or gold, large or small, with or without a crucifix, or maybe with the image of other saints? And what about wearable icons? These questions haunt many lay people.

Pectoral Orthodox cross

I remember, back in school days, on an excursion in one of the Christian cathedrals, all participants at the entrance were given wooden crosses. And those who wore their shirt under their shirt were asked to take it off and put on the church one. They explained this by the fact that ours are just an ornament, and it is impossible to enter the temple without a consecrated cross.

Today's editorial "So simple!", figured out Orthodox iconography and will tell you what kind of cross an Orthodox Christian should wear. After all, as the Holy Scripture says: “But I do not want to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world is crucified for me, and I for the world”(Gal. 6:14).

In the Orthodox world, opinions regarding the pectoral cross vary. Some priests strictly forbid wearing a cross without a crucifix and the inscription "Save and save", while others, on the contrary, do not attach much importance to this and recommend wearing simple crosses, without inscriptions and images.

The only thing that opinions agree on is that the cross must be consecrated in the Orthodox Church. The material from which it is made is completely irrelevant. It is strictly forbidden to talk about the religious advantages of expensive crosses over simple ones, because this will not affect the quality of the holy power of the cross. A person should not honor gold and silver, but power and the image on the cross.

An Orthodox cross can be eight-pointed, six-pointed, four-pointed drop-shaped, shamrock or Latin four-pointed.

The image of the crucifixion is the subject of heated debate between representatives different confessions. Catholics believe that Jesus was crucified on the cross with three nails, Orthodox that four. Therefore, on the Catholic cross, the Savior's feet are thrown one on top of the other, and on the Orthodox one they are located side by side.

Historically, the crucified Jesus on the cross appeared only in the IV century. Until that time, only the image of the cross itself was revered. And only in the 5th century did the tradition of depicting the crucified Christ take root. Hence the conclusion that it is permissible for a believing Orthodox Christian to wear a pectoral cross with and without a crucifix.

The combination of the crucifix and the cross received the final justification in 692 in the 82nd rule Trulsky Cathedral. It established the canon of the iconographic Orthodox image of the crucifixion, which shows both death and the victory of the Savior. Catholics did not accept these rules and the symbolic image of Christ. They established a new type of crucifixion, in which the features of human suffering and the agony of crucifixion predominate.

Therefore, the strictness of some holy fathers regarding inscriptions and crucifixion is quite understandable. The crucifix symbolizes faith in Christ, who died and rose again for our salvation. The crucifix is ​​another visible symbol of the Christian faith.

Saint John of Kronstadt explains: “The Byzantine four-pointed cross is actually a “Russian” cross, since, according to Church Tradition, the holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Prince Vladimir brought from Korsun, where he was baptized, just such a cross and was the first to install it on the banks of the Dnieper in Kyiv. A similar four-pointed cross has been preserved in the Kiev St. Sophia Cathedral, carved on the marble board of the tomb of Prince Yaroslav the Wise, son of St. Vladimir. It is necessary to honor both one and the other equally, since the form of the cross itself has no fundamental difference for believers. ”.

Abbot Luke: “In the Orthodox Church, its holiness does not depend on the shape of the cross, provided that the cross is made and consecrated precisely as a Christian symbol, and not originally made as a sign, for example, of the sun or part of a household ornament or decoration”.

The main rule of a Christian is do not display the cross and don't make a decoration out of it. The cross must be worn humbly, not forgetting what this wearing really means. The cross is a symbol, and the crucifix is ​​an image that inspires prayer.

But only Old Believers are of the opinion that there should not be a crucifix on the pectoral cross. The image of the Holy Crucifix can only be worn by priests, and this is a very strict rule. Also, in the Old Believer traditions, the concepts of a female and male cross are still preserved. In modern Orthodoxy there is no such severe division.

If in doubt is it possible to wear a cross with a crucifix do not hesitate to ask the priest about it. Remember, the most important thing is to be baptized in the Orthodox Church,.

And, is it possible to store it, or is it better to put it in the coffin of the deceased? The spiritual fathers do not give a general recommendation on this question. You can leave as a memory, you can bury. You can even wear such a cross, but only after consecration.

Orthodox pectoral cross without crucifix has a rather ancient history, and, probably, that is why today you can find a lot of varieties of these items. As we all know from history, over the course of time, different peoples of the Christian world had a variety of underwear - with and without crucifixion, with a different number of ends - three-pointed, made in the shape of the letter "T", four-pointed, eight-pointed, equilateral or unequal. But the most common option in the Orthodox world is the eight-pointed pectoral cross, on which the crucifix may or may not be depicted. Although many priests say that there are no strict rules about wearing a pectoral cross of a certain shape.

Pectoral crosses, on which there is no crucifixion of the Savior, are considered the most ancient. At the very beginning of the Christian era, only the geometric shape of the cross was depicted, which in itself was a symbol of Christianity. After some time, the cross began to depict the crucifixion of Christ in combination with some other symbolic elements. The crucifixion on body and other crosses began to be depicted only in the second or third century. And already in the seventh century, the Greek scholar monk Sinai (who at that time was the abbot of Mount Sinai) wrote his polemical essay, which later became famous, and illustrated it with the image of the Crucifixion.

At the same time, in his work, he was the first to use the Greek crucifix, in other words, the eight-pointed cross. And later, when the scribes rewrote his work, he asked them to redraw this cross as carefully as possible. And since the Monk Anastasius of Sinai was a very respected person, the image of such a cross becomes widespread in the East.

We can say that the image of the crucifixion on pectoral crosses began to be performed relatively recently. According to many historians and experts, until the seventeenth century, pectoral cross without crucifix. And according to many priests, pectoral crosses, on which there is a crucifix, do not correspond to Christian canons - since they have an image of Christ on them, they automatically turn into an icon, and it, in turn, is intended for prayer and direct perception. And if worn, hiding it from human eyes, then there is a high probability that it will be used for other purposes, that is, as a magical amulet or amulet. After all, the cross is a sacred symbol, and the crucifixion is an image. And if priests wear crosses with a crucifix on their chests, then they wear them in plain sight, so those around, seeing him, are inspired to pray. Well, as for the pectoral crosses that we wear on the chest, it is believed that they should not have a crucifix, since they are a symbol.

But it should be noted that you should not be embarrassed by this circumstance and in any way fight it. But it is desirable to perceive the meaning of this image in the spirit of the ancient Church. And as an example, illustrating the attitude to data, seemingly insignificant rules, we can cite the following episode. As early as the fourth century, the rule of Basil the Great was adopted, which was included in the Nomocanon, which, in particular, said - "Anyone who wears any icon as an amulet must be excommunicated for three years from Holy Communion." As can be seen, already in those days the holy fathers of the Church rather strictly followed the attitude towards the image, the icon, stood guard over Orthodoxy and in every possible way protected it from manifestations of paganism.

tradition to wear pectoral cross without crucifix or with the crucifixion is rooted not only in the tradition of honoring the Lord's Cross, but also in the whole content of the existence of a Christian. After all, even during the rite of baptism, when the priest puts a pectoral on a person, he reminds him of his life path. That is, Christ said - "Whoever wants to follow me, take up your cross and follow me."

And it turns out that everyone who lives only for himself ultimately turns out to be spiritually incorporeal, and vice versa, those who have passed through the cross receive life with God.

  1. WHY IS IT NOT POSSIBLE TO WEAR A CRUCIFICATION CROSS?
    An article from the ninth book of Lyudmila Gubko "We answer questions." Please read to the end.

    “...God has no religion, no nationality,
    and He does not distinguish people by the color of their skin.
    All earthlings are the children of the Lord...”.

    Ludmila Masterina

    LETTER“Dear Lyudmila Konstantinovna! Women who believe in God with their hearts are writing to you. We believe, we read prayers, although we do not understand many things in them. We go to church, we take communion. It was in the church that we had trouble. We wear under our clothes simple smooth pectoral crosses without a crucifix. Some have silver, some have gold, and one of us wears a simple equilateral, juniper cross. In the church, we were reprimanded and ordered to buy and wear only a crucifix. And we can't do that. Our soul does not lie to such a cross, and we are accustomed to our own. We have a question for you. Tell us, please, is it necessary to wear a crucifix? With respect to you, four believing women: Manya, Olya, Tanya and Raya.

    Similar letters often come to my mail, and I have to answer the question: "WHY CAN'T YOU CARRY THE CRUCIFIXION CROSS?"
    Apparently, the time has come when it is necessary to give a true answer to this question. I ask you to read it carefully, think, compare and decide for yourself whether you need this information. We do not impose our opinion and do not persuade anyone, WE GIVE INFORMATION, no more . You can look through the pages of the Internet and find a lot of similar questions and not a single correct answer. But if a question is asked, it needs a true answer, otherwise the lie will continue to go on the Earth. I will try to give a short, OPEN answer to everyone who cares about this issue. Read.

    For 1615 years the Christians of the planet Earth have been worshiping the crucifixion cross. You ask why 1615 years, because Christ came to Earth 2015 years ago? Yes, 2015 years ago, a simple, very kind and brightest person walked on our Earth. Love for all living things burned in His heart. She knew no boundaries and poured on people through His eyes, His words, His heart. His knowledge and simplicity were admirable. People went to him for help and received it, not understanding whose Love they accept in their hearts. Teacher Jesus Christ in our book “I am knocking on your heart” says: “Imagine for a moment that in that troubled time, when Christianity was only in its infancy, three Great Cosmic Beings, Three Cosmic Spirits, Three Great Gods walked the Earth, but in physical bodies. Mother Mary is the Embodied Angel of Love, the Universal Sananda Christ and My Cosmic Feminine Half. We all lived in the physical bodies of ordinary earthly people: Mother Mary, Mary Magdalene and Jesus Christ. And this is the Truth! Holy Truth!”1
    The Great Gods lived on Earth, but, unfortunately, people did not understand them, did not accept them. And the Lord Jesus Christ came to Earth in order to tell people that there is a Heavenly Father and He is our Heavenly Parent. It is He who gives each newborn a Droplet of His Love - a soul. Christ said that we, people, are not slaves, but children of God, that He is one of the Sons, and He is the same as all people. Christ was, is and will forever be the Torch of Divine Love, which points the way to God, Light and Peace. Jesus Christ is the ETERNAL LIVING SPIRIT OF FIRE LOVE, which He pours endlessly and every second on all life on Earth, and therefore on us, dear readers. Christ spoke about Love, spoke the truth, which not everyone liked. His request: "LOVE PEOPLE EACH OTHER!" not completed so far. It was the truth and His Love for people that caused Him to be crucified on the cross. There is no need to talk much about this, since too much has been said by people of both truth and lies in the past millennium. At that time, spirituality on Earth was in oblivion. Humanity is mired in its sins and unbelief. You know that the Lord took upon himself the huge Karma of mankind in order to save the planet. He suffered for the love of people. But this does not mean that Christ took upon himself the sins of men and that all people immediately became sinless. No. The Lord, by His sufferings and His Fiery Love, saved both the planet and humanity from certain death, as people in their sins approached the line of Sodom and Gomorrah. And people, instead of gratitude, He was simply crucified as a criminal. Human evil killed the body of the Lord, but did not kill the Cosmic Spirit, which burned, burns and will forever burn with Fiery Divine Love.

    “Execution - crucifixion on a cross or on a log was known in Babylonia, Greece, Palestine, Carthage. But the execution was most widespread in ancient Rome, where it became the main type of cruel, shameful and painful death penalty. This is how especially dangerous criminals (rebels, traitors, prisoners of war, robbers, runaway slaves) were executed. After the suppression of the uprising of Spartacus, all the captured slaves, about 6 thousand people, were crucified on crosses along the Appian Way from Capua to Rome. Mark Licinius Crassus never gave the order to remove the bodies.”2 A number of Christian saints were also executed by crucifixion, such as the apostles: Andrew and Peter, the martyr Cleonicus of Amasia. I must say that this cruel punishment is not a thing of the past. Its bitter echoes live on to this day. For example: Iranian Islamic Criminal Law, article 195, which states that crucifixion is still one of the punishments in the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Sudanese penal code, based on the government's interpretation of Sharia, includes execution by hanging followed by crucifixion as punishment. In Sudanese criminal justice, such executions are carried out on those convicted of blasphemy. When 88 people were sentenced to death in 2002, Amnesty International suggested that they could be executed by hanging or crucifixion.(Wikipedia)

  2. It is impossible to imagine the horror of the death of thousands of people crucified on the cross. For many millennia, this execution has become a symbol of the deepest grief, tears, and suffering. Only one combination of words - crucifixion - caused people the strongest fear and a feeling of inner pain. The forces of darkness rejoiced when they saw how people mock their own kind. If people can calmly bring evil to others without thinking about the consequences, then why not make this symbol of evil and pain your tool to turn people away from the True Faith, make them believe in the lies presented by the servants of the forces of darkness, obey without thinking, to all superiors, to prohibit all kinds of indignations, disagreements, to organize religion on Earth, and to make its decisions a law for people. The powers of darkness know that God has no religion, no nationality, and He does not distinguish people by the color of their skin. All earthlings are children of the Lord. The forces of darkness know that if a person begins to believe in the Most High God with his heart and live in simplicity, goodness, love and peace, then such a person cannot be led astray from the true path, it is impossible to win him over to his side and force him to do evil. And evil, unbelief, hatred, cruelty flourished on Earth and, unfortunately, still flourishes.

    I must say that in those distant times there was faith in the Supreme Father, faith in the Light of Love, in the Light of the Sun. Belief in the God of the Sun was strong for many millennia, until the birth of Christ. There was no religion, but people believed with their hearts, there were no churches, but people prayed to the Father Almighty. They believed that the power of God is contained in the Fiery Cross, which is an equilateral cross. An equilateral cross is when the horizontal axis intersects the vertical exactly in the middle. This sign has been used since prehistoric times as an emblem of the gods of the sun and rain, as a symbol of the primary elements. The equilateral cross was also called the Greek (heraldic) cross. In early Christianity, the Greek cross symbolized Christ. This is the oldest form of the cross. If a person believed with his heart in the God of the Sun, the God of the Most High, then the forces of darkness did not dare to approach him. So, they decide, it is necessary to tear a person away from the Wing of God, from the true faith. It is necessary to destroy Jesus Christ, and on the basis of His crucifixion, make a religion and call it Christianity. Human evil, hatred, betrayal and envy have done their dirty work. The Lord Jesus Christ - the Son of God and the Son of man was crucified on the cross, which made the cross a symbol of the Christian religion.


  3. After the crucifixion of Christ, the ministers of the churches for a long time could not cope with the fact that people did not wear a Greek cross (equilateral). You noticed, I said earlier that "in early Christianity, the Greek cross symbolized Christ." Yes, in early Christianity people worshiped the equilateral Greek cross as a symbol of Peace, Freedom and Love. This cross is called "peaceful", since its shape does not allow use in torture and crucifixion. People, in whose hearts there was true faith in God, continued to wear a pectoral Greek cross. It could not even occur to people to pray to the crucifixion cross, which is a symbol of pain and suffering, and of course, they did not obey the newly minted ministers of the church.
    Immediately after the crucifixion of Christ, the church began to think about how to get its own benefit from the execution of the Lord, and with the help of the cross of crucifixion, subdue the will of man, force the servants of the church to bow, instill fear in everyone of the cross by crucifixion, otherwise you will be punished. For more than three hundred (300!) years they thought, composed all kinds of legends, knowing that in another hundred years these legends would become “truth”. For example. In 326, Holy Empress Helen (mother of Emperor Constantine the Great), during her journey to Jerusalem, undertaken with the aim of pilgrimage and the search for Christian relics, allegedly found three crosses and four nails. “... the divine Constantine sent blessed Helen with treasures to find the life-giving cross of the Lord. The Jerusalem patriarch, Macarius, met the queen with due honor and, together with her, searched for the desired life-giving tree, being in silence and diligent prayers and forgiveness. Church historian Eusebius of Caesarea (c. 263–340) in his work “The Life of Constantine”5 reports in detail about the discovery of the “divine tomb”, but does not mention either the acquisition of the Life-Giving Cross, or the participation of Queen Elena in this event. If the contemporaries of Queen Helena and Emperor Constantine do not report anything about the acquisition of the Cross, then already under his son Emperor Constantius (reigned 337-361), church circles are firmly convinced that the acquisition took place under Constantine. There is also a Coptic version of the legend that attributes the acquisition of the Cross to Empress Eudoxia, wife of Emperor Theodosius II, who spent the last decades of her life (441/443-460) in Jerusalem.6 Most modern historians consider all versions of finding the cross on which he was crucified Christ, legend. I also consider them a legend, or rather, a lie.

  4. However, these legends formed the basis for the formation of religion - CHRISTIANITY . “Already from the year 400, the image of the crucifixion appears - the figure of Christ on the cross. Since the 5th century, crucifixion crosses have been decorating church apses and erected on the roofs of Christian churches. Since the 11th century, crucifixes have been placed on the altar. The image of the cross also penetrates the symbolism of secular power: crosses on the diadems of monarchs, on coins, in coats of arms.
    So from year to year, from century to century, people were instilled with false information that the cross of crucifixion has saving power and the power of the death of Jesus Christ on the cross that gives eternal life. In Christian moral theology, a clear definition of what the CROSS is has appeared. Read carefully and ask yourself: where does it say about the Love of the Lord for people? “The cross is a term from“ Christian moral theology ”, meaning the totality of life's hardships, suffering, heavy duties, the painful struggle of moral duty with the temptations of sin, etc. - everything that a Christian is obliged to endure courageously and complacently, without violating the requirements of religion and suggestions pure conscience. The words of Jesus Christ apply to all this: "Whoever does not take up his cross ... he is not worthy of Me." (Matt., XVI, 24).8
    "He who does not take up his cross ... he is not worthy of Me" - this does not mean that one should pick up a crucifixion cross or hang it on oneself and consider oneself a believer in God. This means that everyone carries their own earthly cross, consciously or unconsciously, but everyone has his own. And if a person does not turn his life towards Light, Peace and Love, that is, “does not take up his cross”, then he will not find the way to God and a better life. People who let their lives take their course, to the joy of the forces of darkness, such people are not worthy of the Lord, they left Him, did not “take up their cross” and did not follow the Master. In Agni Yoga it is said: "... The sign of life is the cross" §289.
    9 A peaceful, bright, kind, loving cross that people should carry in their life on Earth. This is a cosmic symbol that shows the earthly life of a person. Yes, an equilateral or Greek cross symbolizes Peace, Light, Divine Love, which is why it cannot be used during torture and executions. But the crucifixion can be used in all types of execution, as it is a symbol of pain and suffering. Is it necessary to talk about the Inquisition, which was created by the ecclesiastical court of the Catholic Church in 1215 by Pope Innocent III.
    10. How many people were killed and burned, and each before death was blessed with a cross by crucifixion. Needless to say, the cross, the image of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, as a rule, sculptural or relief, is an important part of the decorative decoration of churches. Spanish crucifixes of the Baroque era are distinguished by a special naturalism, in bright colors, in the depiction of the suffering and wounds of Christ. People seem to experience joy, depicting more naturally the suffering of Christ. Icons with a prickly wreath, with a cross-crucifix, statues depicting pain. And no one will raise the issue that all these products radiate negative energy, cause inner fear, and it is impossible to look into the eyes of such “works”. Do not believe me, go to any church and carefully look into the eyes of such icons.
  5. And if we are talking about crucifixion crosses, then I cannot but say about how they appeared in churches. Images of Jesus crucified on the cross are first found in the 8th century. In different Christian currents, different crosses are revered: for Catholics - four-pointed, for Orthodox - four-, six-, eight-pointed, for Old Believers - eight-pointed. In some Christian currents, the cult of the cross is rejected. The crucifixion cross is one of the main Christian symbols (along with the icon and relics of saints) and an object of Christian worship. And if this is a cult of the cross, then it must be in the church itself. Gradually, step by step, year after year, the crucifixion cross approached the church. At first, they placed it near the roads, like worship crosses, then a church was built on this place, then near the gates of the church, and, finally, a special corner dedicated to the crucifixion was made in the church premises. One-fourth part of the church serves to ensure that people commemorate the dead. And of course, in this part there was and still is a large crucifix. A natural question arises, why the dead? This means that they commemorate the departed physical bodies, which have long turned into dust. BUT HUMAN SOULS ARE ALIVE! And they are remembered as dead. Souls are LIVING and we must remember them as if they were alive, they just are not with us and that's it. And candles, if you want, can be placed anywhere in the church. FOR LIVING SOULS! And it will benefit the one you are praying for. Why? The fire of a candle lit in a church or at home, in honor of the soul that made the transition, carries your memory of her (for example, your grandmother), gratitude to her and she will receive your love. The Lord always conveys your love to the souls of departed relatives. It is necessary to pray for them, there, in your world, your attention and memory of them are very important.


    Now read what happens when people light candles for the souls of the dead in this corner of the church. Black-brown energy, the energy of pain and evil, is in charge here. I see how it envelops the entire crucifixion in a black thick fog. You put a candle, lit it, on the physical plane it burns, and on the subtle plane it is extinguished by the owners of this corner. The energy of kindness, love for a relative burns the subtle bodies of the forces of darkness, so they extinguish the candles. Relatives living on the other side of life will not receive your love for them. Believe me, this is the Truth that I see with my own eyes. The relics of the "saints" are also placed here. Why did I put the word "saints" in quotation marks? But because if this is a true saint, then a white-blue light constantly emanates from his relics, and all people see him. It is this Light of God that heals and helps. But I have never seen grace emanating from modern relics, of which there are a lot. It turns out that in the church itself there is a corner in which pain, hatred, cruelty are glorified, which means that the forces of darkness live in the corner of the church, and they are in charge of the whole church. We are not against the church. The Church on Earth is needed, but the work in it must be DIVINE, bright and loving. It is the church that should be the first to tell people about God, about His Most Serene Love, about the Joy that heartfelt faith in God brings. The Lord is upset that churches are growing on Earth like mushrooms, and in many of them there is no God. You go to any church, turn to the left side and feel cold, fear to raise your eyes to the huge cross crucifix. Jesus Christ was executed on the cross, after which the cross, in the Christian religion, from an instrument of execution turned into a symbol of Christ's atonement for human sins, as a sign of salvation and eternal life. Yes, the instrument of execution cannot become the atonement for sins! The cross and crucifixion cannot save a person and give him eternal life! CAN NOT! This is just an instrument of execution that brings pain and suffering. This is just a cult of the cross-crucifixion, which the church made for the joy of the devil and on grief for people. In the book “The Book of Jesus” (284 pages) the Lord says: “Your Kingdom, containing all conceivable gifts that Love can reveal ... It is yours, and not through prayers, but by KNOWLEDGE. I know you've been called for centuries to have faith the size of a mustard seed, and above you was a crucifix depicting Me nailed to the cross. But how can one have true faith in the presence of fear? At the same time, it was suggested to you: if you do not do this and that, God's power through this crucifixion will strike you, since you were told that you were born in sin and are very sinful, and therefore hellfire and damnation are prepared for you. Dear ones, this is what the crucifixion teaches you. Is it possible to be happy from such instructions? THIS IS THE LAW OF DENIATION!..the law of slamming the door on every good thing that comes to you from the Kingdom of God.”11 The Lord is right! For millennia, the church has been inspiring people that the Lord endured and commanded us. So humanity lives under cover of fear from the cross of crucifixion.
    It is impossible to imagine how many people who did not want to accept the cross and crucifixion were killed, maimed and given over to be torn to pieces by beasts. But time has taken its toll. For millennia, the church has worked so hard on this issue that people, without thinking, are still crucifying our Lord, the Ecumenical Teacher Jesus Christ. In Agni Yoga there are such words that make you think: Less happy is Christ in the Russian church. Praise and worship removed Him from the people. Realize the meaning of the Great Teacher!” 12. Indeed, praise and worship before the priests, and the richer the dress, the lower the bow, removed the Lord from the people. People have forgotten to whom they owe their lives on Earth. Who gave the soul, which, like a battery, gives life to the physical body. There is no person without a soul. It is a pity, but people think very little about their soul, to which they owe their lives. It amazes me that people have really stopped thinking for themselves. The Church said, so it must be so. Who needs? Who benefits from the fact that for almost two millennia people worshiped the crucifix, which is evil and pain? Why hasn't anyone raised this issue in all this time? Why do people think that the decisions of the church are always right?

    The forces of darkness that live in ALL crucifixion crosses have done what they dreamed of with humanity. They fulfilled their tasks with the help of the church: they turned people away from the True God, fake faith blooms on Earth. They closed the human mind and people stopped thinking one step ahead. The Church requires only the crucifixion to be worn, which means that through it the forces of darkness can calmly penetrate both the heart and mind of a person. I know that a lot of people will not like our information, because it sounds TRUTH. And the TRUTH always pricks the eyes. It is better to live, not knowing, but how I want. So humanity lives, over which a huge crucifix hangs, as a symbol of pain, suffering, cruelty, hatred and death. So the negative energy is hovering in the air, gathering into black clouds and pouring death onto the Earth. What, isn't it? All churches sell only crucifixion crosses. On all icons, wherever possible, a crucifix is ​​inserted. Pectoral crosses should also be only with a crucifix. EVERYWHERE; not the bright sun, but a crucifixion cross, not a blue sky, but a crucifixion cross, not the beauty of Mother Earth, but a crucifixion cross, not people's love for each other, but a crucifixion cross: on the chest, on icons, in churches, on the roads, huge crucifixion crosses on the stomachs of priests. So what? Will you say that you glorify the Lord with such crosses? NO! YOU CRUCIFY HIM! And then we scream, why is life so hard? Because GOD IS FORGOTTEN. We forgot that we are HIS children.

  6. And yet, We are pleased that there are people who ask, are interested and want to know the TRUTH about these bloody crucifixion crosses. We are glad that there are people who do not recognize this symbol of pain and suffering and, of course, do not wear this object under their clothes near their hearts. This means that not all human souls were caught by the crucifixion cross, it did not turn all people away from the True God. We are grateful to everyone who sent me letters with questions about the crucifixion cross. We also say THANK YOU to these four women, whose letter was the last straw of my patience, and I decided to OPENLY answer their question.

  7. And some time ago, hearing constantly this terrible expression: "carry your cross", I decided - yes, I don’t want to carry it. I do not want and will not, and threw it in the trash.
  8. And yet, We are pleased that there are people who ask, are interested and want to know the TRUTH about these bloody crucifixion crosses. We are glad that there are people who do not recognize this symbol of pain and suffering and, of course, do not wear this object under their clothes near their hearts. This means that not all human souls were caught by the crucifixion cross, it did not turn all people away from the True God. We are grateful to everyone who sent me letters with questions about the crucifixion cross. We also say THANK YOU to these four women, whose letter was the last straw of my patience, and I decided to OPENLY answer their question.
    With spiritual vision, I want to tell everyone, maybe people will think. You put on a crucifixion cross on yourself, some under clothes, some on it, but this is a crucifixion cross and it radiates black-brown energy, while God has the energy of Love white-blue, pure, tender, warm. The cross touches the human body, and you are calm. On the subtle plane of the Earth, where the TRUTH lives, I see how your soul cries and how it beats with the terrible energy of the cross of crucifixion. On the subtle plane, your crosses hang around your neck, but your bodies do not touch. So they hang with those who sincerely, with their hearts, turn to God and the Lord does not let the brown energy of the crucifixion into a person. But if a person already has vices, sins, then his crucifix is ​​pressed against the body and black-brown energy enters the body, developing in the person his own vices, sins and pains. You may not believe me, but I ask you to think about it anyway. I'm not trying to convince you all to take off your crucifixes right away, no. This is just everyone's business. It is better not to wear a crucifix at all, but to believe in the True God with your heart and bring your light, goodness and help to people disinterestedly and with love, than to crucify our Lord Jesus Christ every second. And I want to add that crosses that are fully decorated with precious stones and are worn over clothing cannot be a talisman cross. This is jewelry or a pendant with a stone, nothing more. Your real simple equilateral cross should merge with your faith and love for God, and having merged, it will begin to gain the energy of the Light and Love of the Lord, which at the right moment will become your savior. Your cross should touch your body, not your clothes. But this does not mean that it is necessary to wear an equilateral cross, no. If you don’t want to, don’t put it on, but I ask you, believe with your heart and don’t forget what pain the Lord took so that we now live on Earth.

    I recommend everyone to read the book THE BOOK OF JESUS ”, (1999, St. Petersburg) which the Lord Himself dictated to his disciple Ben Cullen, and his wife printed this book. In this book, the Master Jesus Christ Himself says: “My dear ones, I want you to understand in the most clear way: the simple recognition of the amazing Power of the Holy Spirit is done with the sign of the Equal Cross. It doesn't matter what you call this cross, but I no longer want to mention a single word about the "cross of the crucifixion" to which I was nailed. The only thing I will say now, so as not to talk about it in the future: that cross is the personification of suffering for people, and IT WILL NEVER HEAL!... remove this... symbol of suffering!! I cannot call it anything other than an image that personifies suffering and has an adverse effect on a person !! Remove this image from everywhere in your world…”13
    I fully agree with Master. It is necessary to remove everything, everything, all the crosses of the crucifixion from all over the Earth. Any cross with a crucifix will never bring either luck or happiness. Crucifixion is grief, tears, pain that a person attracts to himself if he wears a crucifixion cross. How can you wear the symbol of a crucified person and expect joy from him? And do not think that the cross-crucifixion is a symbol of Christ. No need! This is a legend of the church, invented almost two thousand years ago, and over the years strengthened the law of the same church. CHRIST is ETERNAL GREATEST LOVE, LIGHT, JOY, WELFARE, PEACE. His Love should shine with tenderness, light, beauty everywhere, and in every church it is necessary. So that people, entering the church, feel the Love of the Lord Himself, His warmth and Care, and not admire the gold of the church walls. I repeat: CHRIST is the ETERNAL GREATEST LOVE, LIGHT, JOY, WELFARE, PEACE. People have forgotten that the Lord is LOVE. No wonder that in ancient times they wore equilateral crosses with a hole in the center or with a light stone. The center of the cross showed the Light of God, the Love of God, which merged with the human soul. Tell me, what kind of love of God merges with the crucifixion? Yes, none! And if you have lost your cross, it means that your soul does not want a symbol of pain hanging around your neck, but if you find it, don’t pick it up. It's not yours and don't take it.

    I want to offer you another excerpt from the book " THE BOOK OF JESUS":" My innermost desire - and it is precisely this that requires speaking clearly and publicly - is that the place of the cross of the crucifixion should be taken by the cross of the Rosicrucians, or the Egyptian one, also called "EQUILATERAL", or whatever else you want to call it. If people are going to be healed of the ailments that today afflict every person and every nation, it must be clearly understood that the perpetuation of suffering when I am depicted on the cross, suffering from the so-called “holy crucifixion” ... such perpetuation MUST DISAPPEAR! His exile is the only thing that will allow Us to see a complete liberation from suffering, disease and death! ... until this is done, countless suffering and crimes will continue.”14
    You see, the Lord Himself ASKS people TO REMOVE THE CRUCIFIXION CROSS FROM ALL THE EARTH, otherwise the suffering will not stop. I think at the beginning of our conversation I explained why the suffering of mankind will not stop. I can't even imagine how many indignations there will be in our (my and Teacher's Jesus Christ) address. How to destroy crucifixes? This is a terrible crime! This is blasphemy! All over the Earth, people wear a crucifixion cross, and suddenly take it away! Yes, this is how many people will react, but, thank God, we still have people who can think, compare and see the TRUTH.
    There comes a time when something will make people think, when the priests will stop preaching in the language of strictness, the language of coercion and slavery. It is a pity, but priests do not tell people that it is a great joy for the Most High Father to grant each person the Kingdom of his desires. The time is coming when people will stop offending God and telling Him not to lead into temptation, but to deliver from evil. Of course, the priests will find their answer to these words, but it's true. I want to end with the words from our joint book “I am knocking on your heart”, where the Lord Himself, the Lord of Earth and Heaven, Jesus Christ addresses each of us:
    “I knocked on your heart 2013 years ago, bringing Love, Peace, Mercy, Selflessness and Kindness. I have been knocking and knocking at your heart from the pages of many bright books, I am knocking again from the pages of this book. I am knocking and I believe that you will open the door of your heart, and you and I will go along the Road of Light, along the Road of Eternal Life to True Love, to Peace and Happiness.
    I hope! I wait! I believe!
    I bless you man!" 1 5
    - My true disciple Lyudmila Masterina, on earth, Lyudmila Gubko-Chaganova, We, the Sons of Light, and I, the Lord Jesus Christ, are grateful to you for raising this serious issue, knowing that you will again be insulted and spat upon. Every word in your article is TRUE, with which I, the Lord of Earth and Heaven, Jesus Christ, the Most High Father, as well as all the Heavenly Lords, agree. This issue is indeed very serious, and We are sorry that the church on Earth has not fulfilled its task. We are not satisfied with the work of all the churches on Earth, since the Word of God about Love, Joy, Peace and True Faith in God does not sound within its walls. In many churches there is no God's Light, there is no God. Help comes when a person himself asks for help with his heart, and the Lord always answers the Call of the heart. We have been waiting for more than 2016 years for someone from all of humanity to raise this issue, but people are silent, which means that everything suits them. You, my disciple, rightly said that people, honoring the crucifixion of the cross, crucify Me to this day. They crucify with their unbelief or fake faith, their selfishness, envy, lies, hatred, evil. How could one believe that the cross and crucifixion could help and heal? But the church decided so, and all people are afraid to argue with her, but she is not right. I, the Universal Teacher and the Teacher of all mankind, tell everyone that I am alive and will live forever. I am the most tender Light of Love, and I pour my Love on everyone and everyone every second. I am the Lord of Joy, Prosperity and Happiness. You do not pray to Me Solar, but give your energy of life to those who live in crucifixion. What have you been doing, people, for over 2000 years?
    REPLACE ALL CRUCIFICATIONS WITH A SOLAR, BRIGHT, DIVINE CROSS ALL OVER THE EARTH! Believe me, if you do this, the energy of the entire Earth will gradually change, life itself on Earth will change for the better. We have been waiting for a long time for an OPEN and Truly answer to this question. And waited! Lyudmila Masterina had to be born on Earth so that people could read the Truth, why it is impossible to wear a crucifixion cross. Yes, We are upset and glad that this topic has received a true answer on Earth. We hope you people will draw the right conclusion from all of our information. I, the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, bless all who read our books for their correct understanding.

    How to properly dispose of the cross?

Search line: crucifixion

records found: 65

Hello! Tell me, please, is it possible to wear a double-sided cross, on one side is the Crucifixion, on the other - St. Nicholas. And can this cross mean something bad? And who is patronized by St. Nicholas?

Kseniya

Xenia, the cross can never mean bad. Such a cross can be worn. St. Nicholas patronizes all who pray to Him.

Hieromonk Viktorin (Aseev)

Is it possible to use the rosary as a censer, as a symbol of prayer ascending to God, during the litia (for a layman)? Sorry for such a stupid question.

Gleb

Gleb, how can a rosary become a censer? This is nonsense. You can't, of course. Yes, and the symbolism of the censer is somewhat different - reverent censing in front of the shrine, the Crucifixion, at which litias are usually performed.

hegumen Nikon (Golovko)

Father, hello, sorry to disturb you, I have a small question. They gave me a pectoral cross, I recently damaged mine (sent from Germany) with a crucifix (it has already been consecrated), but there is no inscription "save and save" on it. Can I wear it? Sorry again. Thank you in advance.

Natalya, if the cross was consecrated by an Orthodox priest, then feel free to wear it. Otherwise, it is better to bring the cross to the temple, show it to the priest, and, if the cross is Orthodox, then consecrate it.

Priest Vladimir Shlykov

I was baptized as a child and wore an ordinary soft metal cross. Probably, from the influence of external factors and time, after 35 years, the ear broke off on it and it became impossible to wear it. I bought a new cross in a jewelry store that I liked, Orthodox with a crucifix. I consecrated it in the temple and have been wearing it for 10 years now. Based on this, I have 2 questions. 1. The first cross is very dear to me, I don’t want to give it to the temple, but I also don’t want to hide it somewhere in a box, so I attached it near the icon of the Savior in my car, and it turns out that it is always with me too ( moreover, the priest consecrated the car). Is it possible to do this, and is it not a reproach? 2. I chose the second cross among others on the counter, bought it, consecrated it, and it was on it that I did not look at the back. And only years later I discovered that it did not say "SAVE AND SAVE". Is it necessary to give it to a jewelry workshop to make an inscription? After all, they don’t write quickly, which means that they will have to put on another cross for several days. And I would not like to. Please answer and God bless you for all your answers, for your website and for everything you do! Dmitry

Dmitry

1) The way you did it is quite acceptable, because we hang icons in the car, you can also hang a cross, most importantly, do not forget to pray while looking at it. 2) On the pectoral cross, it is not necessary that “Save and save” be written.

Deacon Ilya Kokin

Good day. The question is. I was presented with a crucifix with relics brought to the temple. The wife scolds that it is impossible to take. How to be?

Dmitry

Dmitry, it seems that your wife is a superstitious woman and, probably, a little church. The life-giving Cross is our life, our protection and our hope. Especially - a cross with relics. It is very good that you were presented with this Cross. Keep the Crucifix at home and pray to our Savior.

Hieromonk Viktorin (Aseev)

Hello, father! Is it possible to make a silver cross and decorate with stones, and later baptize in a church? Thanks for the advice!

Daniel

Daniel, you can make a custom-made cross. Please note that the cross must be Orthodox, always with a crucifix. You can decorate it with precious stones. Such a cross will definitely need to be consecrated in the church, and it will be possible to baptize with it.

Hieromonk Viktorin (Aseev)

Christ is in our midst, father! Is it possible to attach a small cross with a crucifix from the street side on the front door of a private house, or should it be on the inside of the door?

Alexander Skillful

Alexander, the cross is usually hung inside the house. You can, of course, hang the cross outside, but then it is desirable to make sure that the water does not wet the cross, and let it be quite small.

Hieromonk Viktorin (Aseev)

Good afternoon, tell me, is it possible for a seven-year-old child to wear a cross with four stones (they say this is a charm), or is the church against it? Thank you.

Anastasia

Anastasia, the cross is not a talisman, ("guardian" is generally not a Christian, pagan concept, associated with superstitions), but a visible symbol of our belonging to Orthodoxy. The cross must be worn from the very moment of baptism. If the cross is Orthodox and with a crucifix, even if it has jewelry in the form of stones, it can be worn. Only it seems to me that this is useless for a seven-year-old child, at that age it is better to wear a simple cross without any decorations.

Hieromonk Viktorin (Aseev)

Hello, father! I want to order a gold cross for my husband's birthday. Tell me, please, is it possible and correct if there is no crucifix on the cross, but only the inscription "save and save"? And is it possible to indicate on the cross the name of the person to whom it will belong? Thank you in advance.

Elena

Elena, the cross can be made to order. The cross must be strictly Orthodox and always with the Crucifixion. There should not be any superfluous inscriptions on the cross, only on the reverse side "Save and Save", and, of course, no names, except for the Name of the Savior Jesus Christ (Is. Chr.). The cross must be consecrated in the church.

Hieromonk Viktorin (Aseev)

Hello! Is it possible not to wear a cross if there is an image of a cross on the wearable icon with a heavenly patron on the back? Or is it better to wear them together (both the cross and the icon)?

Michael

Michael, a pectoral cross must be worn. It should not be a painted, but a full-fledged Orthodox cross, and always with a crucifix. And on the same chain with a cross, you can wear an icon.

Hieromonk Viktorin (Aseev)

Peace to you, father! Please tell me, this is a healthy curiosity - to find out why one way or another is done in the Church? For example, why do I need to be baptized before entering the Church and many such questions, the resolution of these questions helps me to more consciously approach what I learn, because if someone said something, but I did not understand why and why it is necessary to do it, it is forgotten, and also if it is done without understanding the meaning, it can develop in the Orthodox faith not into a living one, but into the fulfillment of some laws. Please help if this is correct or not. I beg. tell.

Elena

Elena, your desire to meaningfully approach your churching is commendable. By making the sign of the cross, a Christian marks the beginning of his prayer - temple and home. This symbolizes the crucifixion with our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorification of His Sacrifice for us, gratitude to God, worship of Him.

Archpriest Maxim Khyzhiy

Hello, father. My child has a cross, but there is no Jesus Christ on it. I don't know how it happened. He was baptized with him. What do i do? Buy a new one? Should I continue to wear this one? I am very ashamed of my ignorance.

Tanya

Tanya, a cross without a crucifix can also be worn, but still, according to the rules, the Cross must be with a crucifix. If this bothers you, then get a new cross with a crucifix in a church shop, and let the old cross be kept at your home.

Hieromonk Viktorin (Aseev)

Hello, I have been wearing a cross all my life, there is a crucifix, but no skull. He is sanctified. This is bad? Is he not real?

Zalina

Hello Zalina! There are various canonical forms of crosses. There is nothing wrong with the fact that a skull is not depicted under the crucifix. Your cross is consecrated, this is the main thing. St. Demetrius of Rostov wrote as early as the 18th century: “Not according to the number of trees, not according to the number of ends, the Cross of Christ is revered by us, but according to Christ himself, with whose Most Holy Blood he was stained. Manifesting miraculous power, any Cross does not act by itself, but by the power of Christ crucified on it and the invocation of His Most Holy Name.

Priest Vladimir Shlykov

Hello! Can a cross on a rosary be without a crucifix? He is self-made.

Alexander

Ideally, an Orthodox cross should always be with a crucifix. Even in various small objects with the image of a cross there should be a crucifix. It often happens that even without the Crucifixion, and although there is nothing particularly terrible in this, it is still not right.

Hieromonk Viktorin (Aseev)

Is it possible to make a small wooden cross on your own (without the image of the Savior), 30 centimeters in height, and if possible, when is it better to consecrate it? Thank you for answering questions!

Dmitry

Dmitry, an Orthodox cross must necessarily be with a crucifix. Such work should be started only with the blessing of the priest. And if you are blessed, then the cross must be made in compliance with the rules, that is, you must fast on the days when you make the cross, and before that take communion.

Hieromonk Viktorin (Aseev)

Hello! They were in the church, and out of ignorance, placing a candle next to the Crucifixion, they asked the Lord for health for the living, although candles are placed there for the repose. Please tell me how serious this error is and what needs to be done to fix it?

alla

God, you don't have to do anything. With God, everyone is alive. God knows your intentions, and knows that you wish good to those for whom you prayed, and therefore calm down - your prayer is accepted as about health. Now, if you deliberately prayed for the repose of the living, then it would be a serious mistake, otherwise it's okay.
