The saints depicted on this cross will help anyone who strives for new knowledge to enlighten the Spirit.
On the obverse, next to the high eight-pointed cross, are depicted the Holy Apostles-original teachers and enlighteners of the Slavic, the brothers Cyril and Methodius, the Orthodox preachers, the creators of the Slavic alphabet.
The Holy Brothers not only created the alphabet, they became the ancestors of the spiritual and scientific literature in the Slavic language. They were translated from Greek the most important worship books, the first literary works were created. St. Cyril wrote the first poetic ("Proglas") and the first religious-philosophical ("Writing on the right faith") books in Slavic. St. Methodius created the oldest monument of Slavic law-the "Law of Judgment to the People".
"The soul is bookless in man is dead" is the saying from the "Conclusion to the Gospel" of ravnap. Cyril was winged. After all, it is education, education that is able to inspire the human soul and save it for eternity.
To the right and left of the saints are pokornnye icons of St. Nicholas. St. Nicholas And St. John Roman Sladkopevets.
According to the prayer presentation of St. Nicholas, the Lord helps people in all sorts of difficult, sometimes desperate circumstances. The saint is not accidentally called a quick helper in all matters. He can help both in school and in exams.
St. The novel helps in the implementation of creative boldness for all who ask him for help. The priest was a cleric at St. Sophia's Cathedral in Constantinople and really wanted to learn to compose poems, to sing in church services, to read the psalm expressively. Through prayer to the Blessed Virgin he received the coveted gift and became famous in the centuries as one of the greatest hymnographers and poets of the Church.
On the back of the cross in the middle is placed the icon of the Mother of God "skoropoushelnitsa". The name of this image says that the Virgin is"swift for all who flow to Her, mercy and fulfilment of prayers". The icon of the Mother of God is depicted with an outstretched hand, emphasized by great grandeur, as if it symbolizes the generosity of the help given to her.
To the left and right are the saints Sergius of Radonezh and John of Kronstadt. In the lives of these saints there is a similar story: given to them as a child difficult to study. After the hot prayers to the Lord, both miraculously acquired great abilities in the sciences and became spiritual enlighteners of the world.
In the lower part of the cross, the Saint Matron of Moscow is depicted. The blind cripple of the village received so much knowledge from the Lord that he often surprised many educated people who spoke to him. But as true ascetic, the blessed one no longer taught with words, but with her whole life. Blindly physical, She now teaches spiritual seeing. Those who have not had the opportunity to walk, teach to walk the difficult path of salvation.
At the top of the cross falls the guardian angel with his wings. His image is placed over the rest of the saints, because he is the first friend and helper for every human being given to him by God as counselor and intercessor.
Man needs God's help not only in diseases and difficult circumstances. The Church teaches to ask the Lord for enlightenment of the Spirit, to eliminate inattention, distraction and laziness. And he teaches not to forget to give thanks for all that is given to him with the words:"Glory to You, Lord."
The artist svetlana terentyeva and the staff of the company "Akimov"worked on the creation of the image.
