The Orthodox Cross Granite Monument carries deep spiritual meaning within the Eastern Christian tradition. Unlike the Latin Cross or Celtic Cross, the Orthodox design features three horizontal beams — the top for the “INRI” inscription, the middle for Christ’s arms, and the bottom slanted beam symbolizing both suffering and triumph.
Rooted in Russian, Greek, Serbian, and Eastern European Orthodox culture, this cross is a central symbol of faith, humility, and salvation. Crafted from durable granite, available in colors such as Absolute Black, Paradise, Marina Verde, Kuppam Green, Himalayan Blue, Orion, Red Multicolour, and Indian Aurora, the Orthodox Cross Memorial preserves sacred tradition while offering lasting beauty and resilience.
Sacred Symbolism
The top beam represents the “INRI” inscription placed above Christ.
The middle beam represents His arms on the cross.
The slanted lower beam symbolizes the thief who repented (rising upward) and the one who mocked (falling downward).
Granite Strength for Heritage Memorials
Granite ensures the cross endures for centuries, unlike softer stone materials traditionally used in historic cemeteries.
Its polish and strength preserve carvings, inscriptions, and sacred geometry.
Regional Authenticity
Popular in Russia, Greece, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, and other Orthodox nations.
