Orthodox Crucifix Pectoral Cross – Gold Plated with IC XC NIKA
This distinguished Orthodox pectoral cross features the crucified Christ rendered in detailed silver-tone relief, framed by a radiant gold-plated setting. The traditional inscriptions “IC XC” and “NIKA” (“Jesus Christ Conquers”) are prominently displayed, affirming the victory of Christ over death.
Above the crucifix, the crown detail is accented with deep red and clear stones, symbolizing sacrifice, kingship, and divine glory. The cross is further adorned with red and clear stones along the arms and borders, creating a refined brilliance that complements the solemn beauty of the central iconography. A teardrop-shaped red stone drop at the base adds balance and elegance to the overall design.
The contrasting gold and silver tones highlight the sacred imagery while preserving a timeless Byzantine aesthetic. This cross is well suited for clergy wear, liturgical use, or as a meaningful devotional piece.

This is the Epitheos Cross, worn by bishops and elder priests who have been honored with the title of Protopresbyter or Archimandrite. Upon wearing the cross, the clergy proclaim the sacred words:
"Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me, both now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen."
