SOLID 925 Sterling Silver Cross Pendant Saint Mark Greek and Cyrillic Text Religious Amulet New Christian Church Faith Jewelry CR001046
You are looking at a lovely cross of a rare antique design. The front side represents Saint Theodore, Jesus Christ and the 12 Apostles. The Greek text here means "Saint Theophilus" and "Twelve Apostles" and it's written in minuscule writing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_minuscule. St. Theophilus (name meaning Love of God or Loved by God) is one of the characters of the Saint Mark miracle story. He was a monk of the Cave Monastery.
The Cyrillic inscription on the front side is "ІС ХС", and it means the abbreviation of Jesus Christ name.
The back side of the cross pendant depicts an Old Believers' cross, the icon of Saint Mark of the Caves (the monk of Kiev-Pechersk Lavra) and a seraph. Saint Mark of the Kiev-Pechersk Caves achieved a unique heart purity by his humbleness and selflessness that God granted him the power over death. He once asked a dead monk to live one more day, and this monk revived. St. Mark is also venerated as a healer, and he had a special brass cross with healing properties.
This is silver cross is of a Byzantine design that dates back to the XI century. And maybe this design was an attempt to revive the form of the healing cross of Saint Mark.
The Cyrillic scripture "Святый о. Марко, моли Бога о нас" means "Saint Father Mark, pray God for us."
