Three horizontal bars instead of one, a smaller bar near the top and a diagonal bar near the base, is what separates the Orthodox (or Russian) cross from the single-bar Latin form of Western Christianity.
A Storied Heritage
Archaeological evidence places wearable religious objects in virtually every major ancient civilization: Egyptian scarabs and protective amulets, Mesopotamian cylinder seals worn as pendants, Greek and Roman devotional figurines, pre-Columbian jade and gold ritual objects. The practice of wearing belief on the body is among the oldest documented functions of personal jewelry, predating most other categories of wearable adornment by millennia.
