In the top box is "King", left box = Jesus, right box = Christ (these three are abbreviated), bottom box = "Victor" or "has the victory". The words surrounding each box are the tropar of the Cross that is sung instead of the Trisagion: We bow to Thy Cross, O Master, and we praise Thy holy Resurrection.

Thank you! Been looking for a new cross ever since the body fell off my St. Benedict's crucifix. Liked this one, but was wondering what it meant.

Hi Veronica!

If you like, please send me a private message with a mailing address. I have a similar Orthodox neck cross I can send you - no charge at all.
