Can anyone enlighten me as to the symbolism of the Russian Orthodox Cross,
and the reason for its having three cross pieces? This may not be the place for this
Much obliged,

James,

Whoops, I didn't realize there was no need for code here. I think that you can still click on the links that I left and got straight to the article just fine. Here is a link to our Articles page which has more articles on Orthodoxy: http://www.orthodoxrings.com/Articles.html

If you have any other questions about Orthodoxy please ask and I would be happy to point you in the right direction.
