{"product_id":"black-orthodox-cross-ii-white-mug","title":"Black Orthodox Cross Orthodox Christian White Coffee Mug","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Orthodox Cross, in its distinctive eight-pointed form, is one of the most recognisable and theologically rich symbols in all of Christianity, carrying within its unique shape a profound summary of the entire mystery of our salvation. Unlike the simple Latin cross of Western Christianity, the Orthodox Cross has three horizontal bars. The uppermost small bar represents the titulus, the inscription placed above the head of Christ on the Cross by Pontius Pilate reading Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews in three languages. The middle large bar is the main crossbeam to which the hands of Christ were nailed. The lower diagonal bar represents the footrest to which the feet of Christ were nailed, tilted at an angle with the right side higher to indicate that the repentant thief crucified on Christ's right rose to paradise while the unrepentant thief on His left descended to hades. This eight-pointed cross is sometimes called the Russian Orthodox Cross or the Eastern Orthodox Cross and is found on Orthodox church domes, in Orthodox iconography and in Orthodox Christian art throughout the world. The Black Orthodox Cross design presents this sacred symbol in a bold and striking manner, celebrating the holy Cross as the instrument of our salvation and the sign of victory over sin, death and the devil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.\" (1 Corinthians 1:18)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eO Lord Jesus Christ, who by thy voluntary suffering and death upon the holy Cross hast trampled down death by death and granted life to those in the tombs, grant us to glory in thy Cross alone and to find in it our salvation, our life and our resurrection. Amen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis mug makes a bold and meaningful gift for baptisms, name days, feast days, Easter, Christmas or any occasion where the holy Cross and the Orthodox faith are proclaimed and celebrated with confidence and joy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium 11oz black ceramic mug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWraparound dye-sublimation print, vivid and long-lasting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDishwasher and microwave safe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC-handle for comfortable grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead and BPA-free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinted on demand with care\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUK orders fulfilled locally in the United Kingdom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS orders fulfilled locally in the United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEU orders fulfilled locally in Europe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eA daily reminder of faith, for yourself or someone you love.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Orthodox Market","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":57512041152895,"sku":"28234711022485437792","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0903\/9138\/0351\/files\/7831207452175326925_2048.jpg?v=1780009222","url":"https:\/\/theorthodoxmarket.com\/products\/black-orthodox-cross-ii-white-mug","provider":"TheOrthodoxMarket","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
