For the first time, the attention of the God-loving reader is offered a brief overview of that most interesting part of the Holy Tradition of the Orthodox Church, which contains valuable mystical-dogmatic and moral-aesthetic experience of the traditional use of various images of the cross in the history of Christianity. The various symbols and signs that accompany every Christian on his path to Heaven is a special language of the Holy Church, the knowledge of which is necessary for each of its members, therefore the brochure can be recommended as a teaching aid on catechesis for the widest range of readers.
