The Holy Fathers teach us to kiss our next-to-skin cross in the morning and in the evening with prayers for our nearest and dearest. It is sanctified protecting of our people that this shrine cross with holy patrons of family and marriage is designed for.
Shrine cross, or encolpion (in Greek) is a small reliquary. In ancient times they have often been cross-shaped and decorated with
icons. This "domestic" shrine cross follows the tradition.
