dc.descriptionThe Russian Orthodox Cross has been used since the 16th century in Russia. This cross has three horizontal crossbeams, with the lowest one slanted downwards. The topmost of the three crossbeams represents Pilate's inscription placed on Christ Cross which reads INRI. The middle crossbeam is the main bar to which Christ's hands are fixed in crucifixion. The bottom (sloping) crossbeam represents the footrest which prolongs the torture. Today it is a symbol of the Russian Orthodox Church and a distinctive feature of the cultural landscape of Russia.
