About this cross
This cross is worn by Byzantine Christians, both Catholic and Orthodox, Greek and Russian. In addition to the slanted footrest, it features the "IC" and "XC", which are shorthand in Greek for Jesus Christ. The "IC" is the first and last letter of ISOUS (Jesus); the squiggly line indicating that this is an abbreviation. The "XC" is the first and last letter of CHRISTOS (Christ).
