    Crucifix writing translation

    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.

    Crucifix writing translation

    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?

    Reliability of Jay Dyer

    I have heard good things about some of Jay Dyer's stuff, but as with anything that's on the internet, do talk to your priest / spiritual father about anything you read or watch on the internet. Your primary catechism / faith education comes from your priest, anything else is supplemental...
