🇨🇦Item: Necklace (Christian Orthodox collection - St. Lazarus) Materials: Agate, quartz, Baltic amber, Russian shungite, gold-filled findings. Price: $240CAN Story: This necklace is inspired by a church of St. Lazarus in Suzdal, Russia. Built in 1617, this curch belonged to a monastery, hence the black set of domes. Lazarus, the final sign of the coming of Messiah, was resurrected by Jesus 4 days after his, Lazarus, death. The event is mentioned in the Gospel of John, Ch.11. The necklace presents 4 beads rising from a pendant to the first set of two-sided hand carved beads of crosses, followed by another 11 beads to the second set of crosses. These numbers are chosen to highlight the significance of the resurrection and its history. The four black beads and the pendant signify the 5 domes of the church, while the connecting bead, between the pendant and the necklace, bear letter "Л" in old-Cyrillic (Russian "L") for Lazarus. Also, five domes in Russian churches stand for Jesus (the central dome) and four of evangelists. Orthodox Christians believe that after the resurrection, Lazarus traveled to Cyprus and became there a bishop of Kition (Larnaka) where is believed to have lived for 30 years to his death. This necklace is the first item in a series of accessories inspired by Russian orthodox churches.
