Beautiful cross, made of 585 gold in canonical style with carved images. The scene of the Holy Crucifix is reproduced on the front side. Near the cross are the faces of the Most Holy Theotokos and St. John the Theologian, who, during the execution of the Lord Jesus Christ, were near him to the very end. On the reverse side of the cross is depicted a figure of Tetraform, an allegorical being from the Revelation of John the Theologian, which has four chapters: man, lion, calf and eagle. These chapters symbolize the four Holy Evangelists: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
