Hello, so I received this crucifix as a gift from my folks and had it blessed by my spiritual father after liturgy today. I was wondering if anyone is able to translate the writing on it? It looks like some kind of Slavonic if I had to guess?
That's really interesting! Thanks for sharing this information. My priest who is Greek wasn't able to translate it, but he said he thought it was an Old Believer crucifix.

I should add that the English “arise” is expressed in Russian as “resurrect”. Our word, and I guess the original Hebrew (if the Masoretic didn’t deliberately distort it) is a bit vague on that point.
