Keychain: Great Moravian Cross, Polished Stainless Steel

Carry a Piece of Great Moravian History with You

A Symbol of Faith from the Time of Cyril and Methodius

This type of cross is an archaeologically documented artifact from the period of the Great Moravian Empire. It was in the 9th century that the missionaries to the Slavs, Saints Cyril and Methodius, arrived to spread Christianity and lay the foundations of Slavic literacy. This cross is therefore not just an ornament, but a tangible link to one of the most important periods in European history. You are carrying a symbol that accompanied our ancestors during the formation of the first major state of the Western Slavs.

Detailed Craftsmanship on Both Sides

The cross is struck from a hand-engraved die, ensuring fidelity to the historical original and sharp details on both sides:

• Front Side: Features a linear, stylized depiction of the crucified Jesus Christ with a halo. Above his head, the blessing hand of God the Father is symbolically represented.
• Back Side: Is inscribed with a Greek text in abbreviated form, which fully translates to: "Jesus Christ – Light – Life – Conquers" (in Greek: IC XC ZOE NIKA).

A Practical Accessory with Deep Meaning

This keychain is more than just a practical tool to organize your keys. It is a personal talisman and an expression of respect for history and tradition. Thanks to its durable material, it will bring you joy in everyday use. You can give one keychain to a partner, friend, or family member, sharing a common bond to your roots.

How to Care for Your Great Moravian Cross

Stainless steel is a very durable and low-maintenance material, yet it deserves basic care to keep the pendant looking its best.

• Cleaning: To remove fingerprints and daily grime, simply polishing the cross with a soft, dry cloth (such as microfiber) will suffice.
• Restoring Shine: If the pendant gets minor scratches from use, its shine can be restored with a polishing paste designed for stainless steel.
• What to Avoid: Do not use abrasive pads, scouring agents, or aggressive chemicals that could scratch its polished surface.
