NIANWUDUReligious Gifts Three Bar Russian Orthodox Cross 8 Inch Wooden Byzantine Wall Crucifix Prayer Save Us

It’s beautiful, nice quality but very thin. overall very happy with this purchase it’s being used as a kissing cross for our entrance.

We are Orthodox and bought this for our grandson, so before giving it to him, we took it to have it blessed by our priest. He is quite particular about icons, crosses, and how Christ is portrayed, but he absolutely loved this, thought it was beautiful, and even suggested ordering more to have in the church's little bookstore. So yes, it is very nice, even though it is affordable. True, it is basically a fancy sticker over the wood, but the artwork is excellent. They got the details right, and with the gold trim, it just looks very special--perfect for helping a child learn reverence for Christ, yet it doesn't look childish.I also showed it to a man in our parish who can read the Slavonic and Russian alphabets, and he recognized the phrases that are typical on Orthodox crosses. So I'm not sure why anyone would believe it is inauthentic. We found online translations for all the inscriptions: "Jesus of Nazareth, King of Glory," etc., and plan to write these down for our grandson so that the picture and the inscriptions can serve as learning aids for him.The back has a small drilled hole for hanging, as well as the "Save and Protect" in Russian, done with gold scroll designs. My only disappointment is that today when I came back to order more for our church bookstore, they are out of stock. I hope that this item will be available again because it is a perfect little wall cross for both kids and adults.

The review says it all. This a great sized and well item for the price. Worth five-stars.

Just got an around 30 minutes ago, absolutely love it. Came in amazing condition, the only problem I have is the back of it, mounting it on the wall is a bit challenging as the hole in the back to screw it on a wall is very small, so what I’m using is some clear puzzle glue and gluing the screw on the back of the cross, other than that issue it’s a 10/10

Could be a little larger

The reason I gave it 4 stars is due to the notch used for hanging it and the thickness. I have the same exact cross iny one daughter's room for years now. That on is thicker and has a nice triangle ring to hang it from. This one has the notch taken out of the back and that's not as preferred by most people I would think. Looks great though and will keep it

Beautiful icon and well made of the price.

It's just like in the picture. My husband loves it.
