This cross is made as the image of the glory of the Church Militant, a leading spiritual warfare "against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places" (Eph. 6, 12).
Every Christian, according to Paul, this invisible warrior battlefield, carrying the weapons of God to "stand against the wiles of the devil" (Eph. 6, 11). Belt warrior Christ is the truth, by the armor of righteousness, shoes of the readiness of the gospel of peace. "In addition to all this, says the Apostle," take the shield of faith, with which you can quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one; And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God" (Eph. 6, 14-17). "Great arms of Christ", "mutual sword" and "a sign of courage" is also the Cross of Christ (the Canon of the Cross).
Visibly spiritual battle for the Russians always had a military feat, because "there is no greater love than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends" (Jn. 15, 13). In Russia loved and honored soldiers of the martyrs, connecting in my life exploits of the martial and spiritual. Four of them are shown on this cross. On the front side - saints Theodore Stratelates and Demetrius of Thessalonica, on the back - Theodore Tiron and John the Warrior.
The cross itself is made in the shape of a sword, which is a biblical symbol of spiritual struggle. With swords in their hands in Holy Scripture the angels appear, the Apostle Peter (Jn. 18, 10). The Lord himself says of Himself: "it is Not peace I have come to bring, but a sword" (Matt. 10, 34). In Russia, the sword was traditionally identified with the cross, and often directly used instead. Also preserved many icons on which the saints-martyrs holding a cross handle up instead of the martyrdom of the cross. Widely revered icon "Nicholas of Mozhaisk", on which the Saint holds a naked sword.
The Central image of the Military cross is a Crucifix. On both sides of the Christ depicts the tools of His passions: a pole with a sponge and a spear. Behind - the Jerusalem wall, a sign that the Lord was crucified outside the city walls. However, the wall marks and the heavenly Jerusalem, the way in which opened to mankind through Calvary: "MLB", "Location frontal Paradise Was" written at its base.
Under the cross of Christ is the skull of Adam. Top - Ethimasia, the image of the Throne, which had been prepared for Himself Christ's suffering and that He will sit at his Second Coming to judgment.
On both sides of the Crucifixion are images of soldiers martyrs Theodore, who was beheaded under the Emperor Licinius approx. 319 (amp. February 21), and Demetrius, Izmodenov spears under the Emperor Maximilian approx. 306 years (amp. 8 November).
In the lower part of the Military cross is a depiction of MMD. and healer Panteleimon, St. physician unmercenary, beheaded in 305 (amp. 9 August), which was worshipped not only as a healer of wounds, but also as a helper on the field of battle.
The turnover of the Military cross offers a majestic figure of the Archangel Michael, the Archangel, that is the Supreme commander of the Heavenly host (amp. 21 November). His name means "Who is like God?", because he is the most powerful and formidable enemy of evil. He first took up arms against Lucifer when he rebelled against God, he threw him out of the Sky and does not cease to fight with his dark army. On the head of the Archangel curly ribbons, called toroki (or rumors). They symbolize a listening ear and attention to God.
As a military flag in the invisible battle at the top of the cross is placed the Image of Edessa. The image of Christ on a Cloth (towel) was the greatest Christian Shrine in the world. According to Legend, he miraculously imprinted on a piece of canvas, which he wiped his face after washing.
On both sides of the Archangel Michael under the banner of the Holy Cloth facing another warrior squads of Christ: great Martyr. Theodore
