The cross "The Vine"

Jewelry, like any expensive items, requires careful handling and certain care. Special attention should be paid to the appearance of jewelry in hot and humid climates. It is also necessary to protect jewelry from getting perfumes and cosmetics on them.

From the very beginning of Christianity, the cross has become for believers not just an image of an instrument of execution, but a symbol of victory over death and hope. In the fourth century, when the holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Emperor Constantine won by the power of the image of the Cross of the Lord, and the Holy Queen Elena found the Life-giving Cross in Jerusalem, the national veneration of this shrine began. Thousands of pilgrims flocked to Palestine, seeking to take with them a piece of the Golgotha Tree in order to carry it as an incessant reminder of the Savior's earthly life, His sufferings and Resurrection. Thus was born the tradition of the cross, a personal sign of belonging to Christ and a tangible testimony of faith.

In Christian art, the vine is one of the most ancient and capacious images. Its history goes back to the first centuries, when believers who gathered in the Roman catacombs decorated the walls of underground temples with images of a sacred vessel from which doves symbolized saved souls took communion. In these paintings, grape shoots were not just a decoration, but reminded of the sacrament of the Eucharist and the inseparable connection of man with God.
