A 19th century design engraved with the Russian St. Andrew Cross, the IC XC Greek letters for “Jesus Christ”, the head of Adam at the base of the cross and a symbol representing the light of Christ at the top. Tradition teaches that when the Apostle Andrew preached in southern Russia he placed a life-size three-bar cross at his side. While explaining the Last Judgment he tilted the foot plate to signify that those on the right side of Christ will go up into heaven and those on the left will go down into hell.
