Product Description
The chain loop is designed to fit a 2mm diameter chain.
Unlike most crosses you see the Byzantine Cross features three crossbeams. The topmost one represents Pilate's inscription "The King of Glory" based on John's Gospel. In later images, it represents INRI or Jesus, King of the Jews. The middle crossbeam is the main bar to which the victim's hands are fixed, the bottom crossbeam represents the footrest which prolongs the torture.
In many depictions, the side to Christ's right is higher, slanting upward toward the penitent thief St. Dysmas, who was crucified on Jesus' right, but downward toward impenitent thief Gestas. It is also a common perception that the foot-rest points up, toward Heaven, on Christ's right-hand-side, and downward, to Hades, on his left.
