For the first time, the attention of a God-loving reader is offered a brief overview of that most interesting part of the Sacred Tradition of the Orthodox Church, which contains a many-valued mystically dogmatic and morally aesthetic experience of the traditional use of various images of the cross in the history of Christianity. Various symbols and signs accompanying each Christian on his way to Heaven - there is a special language of the Holy Church, the knowledge of which is necessary for each member, so the brochure can be recommended as a textbook on the catechesis of the widest range of readers.
