About the Holy Monastery of Gregoriou in Mount Athos, Greece: Also known as Gregoriou Monastery, the Monastery is built high on a rock and by the sea, on the southeastern side of the Mount Athos peninsula. It was founded in the 14th century by Saint Gregory the Hesychast who dedicated the main church to Saint Nicholas. The second protector of the Monastery is Saint Gregory and the third protector is Saint Anastasia of Rome, known for performing myriad of miracles and whose relics are kept in the Monastery. In its history, Gregoriou Monastery burned down twice (once in the 15th century and then in the 18th century).

Cherished Cross

I received my 2 knitted Crosses today. One for my sister-in law and one for me. The size of this little knitted cross is small,lightweight on a comfortable black cord. Although small in size it is to be "cherished" for I understand prayers were being said while crafting the Blessed cross .
I am wearing this item now as I submit this review with great joy and humbled by the
Craftmenship ,patience and love that went into this delicate, precious icon of our Lord's passion. Thank you! Rita R.

Hand Carved Boxwood Cross / Pendant

$60.00

This wooden cross, entirely carved by hand, is the handiwork of the monk Father Galaktion of Saint Dimitrios' Cell* in Kapsala, Mount Athos, Greece.

The cross is made of boxwood, a type of wood with a smooth texture, ideal for carving as it holds crisp and fine details. Boxwood has a yellowish color but acquires an elegant darker patina over time.

Hold the cross in your hand as a praying tool, or wear it as a necklace (a black satin cord is included).

Wood tone and wood grain, carving details and dimensions may vary as this is a handmade product. 

*The ascetic Cell of Saint Dimitrios belonged priorly to Father Irodion of Kapsala, the Holy Fool (1904-1990).

Total cord length: 29.5" (75 cm)

This item was meticulously handcrafted by monks in Mount Athos. While crafting each one, the monks are simultaneously engaged in prayer and concentration, making these items a true blessing! With the purchase of this item, you are also supporting the monastic communities of Mount Athos, Greece.

A cherished step in my journey

For the last 3 years I have been on a journey, from a lifetime of my Protestant faith, to the Orthodox faith. I have only learned of, and read about, Mt. Athos in the last 2 years. How excited I was to learn of this company and the items that they offer. I purchased the large cross for my icon corner, and was excited when this version as a necklace became available again. I will cherish the work and the blessing of the father who made this. Such a precious part of my faith and worship!

Beautiful

My wife bought this for me on our first anniversary. I have had it for about 8 months. The craftsmanship is beautiful, and there is quite a lot of detail for such a comparatively small surface area. Thank you very much Father for the handiwork, it is cherished. Also, thank you to those at athoniteusa that make it possible for someone like me to obtain such a beautiful and meaningful cross.

Prayer Answered...

Back in 2020 I watched the 2016 documentary "ATHOS", Never before had I seen, heard of or known anything about The Holy Mountain or the Orthodox Christian faith. In the film as I watched solitary Father Galaktion hand carving wooden Crucifix's at His rustic Hermitage it was like an arrow to my heart..."Oh how I would like to have one of those crosses but, how on Earth would I be able to contact such a person?!" Eighteen months later enter Divine Providence in finding exactly that which I hoped and prayed for, right here in AthoniteUSA! The carving is beautiful and wood grain/tones is lovely (you know each one is going to be unique!).

As for the Company itself: the Customer Service has been phenomenal and regarding the packaging, the blue with gold gilt gift box is absolutely elegant.

Do not hesitate to buy this for yourself or as a gift...it's a little treasure and a big blessing (I wear mine daily).

Prayer Answered, to the Glory of God.
