<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IvaPan, post: 5743767, member: 78949&quot;]J Dagger, after digging a bit, according to Russian sources&nbsp; it is the earliest Christian cross taken from older religions and related to swastika. Cannot help, never seen it around.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: I found a source displaying different old Orthodox crosses from Russian museums, taken from churches, used to keep saints&#039; relics and worn on the chest (I guess by priests, they were kept in churches and not accessible for other people).&nbsp; You can have a look at the pictures. Do not see a similar one although there are equal arm crosses.</p><p><a href="https://azbyka.ru/otechnik/prochee/stavrograficheskij-sbornik-kniga-3/4" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://azbyka.ru/otechnik/prochee/stavrograficheskij-sbornik-kniga-3/4" rel="nofollow">Раздел 3.
