Snagov Monastery-Rich wood Orthodox Cross
It is interesting that this Romanian Orthodox Church has a Russian Orthodox motif. In the Russian Orthodox tradition, the lower beam of the cross is slanted: the side to Christ's right is usually higher. This is because the footrest slants upward toward penitent thief St. Dismas, who was crucified on Jesus' right, and downward toward impenitent thief Gestas. The earliest version of a slanted footstool can be found in Jerusalem, but throughout the Eastern Christian world until the 17th century, the footstool is slanted the other way, pointing upwards rather than downwards, making the downward footstool a Russian innovation. In the Greek and most other Orthodox Churches, the footrest remains straight.
