Eastern Orthodox Cross Symbol - Meaning and Design #1327559 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white line drawing depicts the Eastern Orthodox cross, distinguished by its three horizontal bars: the top for the inscription "INRI", the middle for Christ’s hands, and the slanted lower bar representing the footrest and the two thieves. The slant signifies the thief who repented (rising to the right) and the unrepentant (descending to the left). Its clean, minimalist style emphasizes theological precision and liturgical use.
