Russian Orthodox cross Puns

Hi there,

I sincerely apologize if this is off topic. My partner's cross neckclace recently broke, and I'd really like to get him a new one. I am not Orthodox, so I'm having trouble picking one out. I'm nervous that I'll accidentally purchase one that is distinctly Greek Orthodox instead of Russian Orthodox. I would really appreciate some help in choosing an appropriate neckclace.

Here are some of the options I'm considering:

Kindly let me know if any of these are inappropriate! Also, feel free to let me know which one is your favourite :)

Thank you for your help. Again, I apologize if this is the wrong place for this question.

Do Orthodox Christians consider people who attend in their Divine Liturgy wearing Roman Catholic Crucifix or Latin Cross as offensive or inappropriate ?

I’ve been asked to be a godparent and I have to gift a gold orthodox cross necklace to my godchild. I’m not religious nor orthodox and have no idea where to get something like this. Online it looks like the only site is factorydirect, which I’m skeptical of (side note: has anyone ever used this?).

Does anyone know of a jewelry store in Ottawa/Gatineau where I can find real gold, cross necklaces? But, the orthodox kind, lol.

Hi all, I’ve been very curious as to what the differences are between the six and eight ended orthodox crosses. I’m aware that the slanted horizontal bottom beam is pointing to hell and heaven, but what are the main differences and which one is the “proper” russian one? Seems like they are both used. Thanks

I hope this doesn't come across as a silly question. Genuinely curious. I know that some hair is cut during their tonsures, but are Russian nuns allowed to have hair of any length modestly underneath their veils, or do they shave it?

I tried to find any source on this and could not find it, but maybe I’m missing something?

Just started playing Valhalla and surprisingly enjoying the game for the most part.

Just arrived to England and noticed that one of the monastery raid icons on the world map plays Russian Orthodox Chant when you hover over it.

Not sure why they decided to use this as the Rus only converted to Orthodox Christianity in 988.

Anyone else notice this?

I bought it recently on my trip to St. Nektarios Monastery on Aegina. It immediately caught my attention, it's simplicity and pureness just spoke to me.

But is this an Orthodox cross? Isn't that a Catholic form? I just recently found faith but the crosses I saw sold at other places are not of that form.

But then, I bought it a a very well know Orthodox Monastery so I'm just making things up I guess.

Any suggestions for good Russian orthodox churches in Arizona

What are common things you see or do in services?
