Kiev Cross

The Kiev Cross, also referred to as the Russian Orthodox or Eastern Cross, holds great importance in Eastern Orthodox Christianity, especially within Ukrainian religious traditions. Characterized by its three horizontal bars, with the lowest one angled downward, this cross has been a prominent symbol in Ukraine since the Christianization of Kievan Rus' in 988 AD. It plays a vital role in both Ukrainian Orthodox and Ukrainian Greek Catholic practices, representing the triumph of Christianity and frequently appearing atop churches and in religious artwork across Ukraine.

The top beam signifies the inscription placed above Jesus during the crucifixion, commonly understood as "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews." The middle beam is the primary bar where Jesus' hands were nailed. The bottom beam, angled downward, functions as a footrest and symbolizes the pain and torment endured during the crucifixion.
