Pope Shenouda III
In making the sign of the cross, we profess our belief in the Incarnation and the Redemption
We make the sign of the cross from up downwards and from left to right. We remember that God descended from heaven to earth and transferred people from the left to the right; from darkness to light; from death to life. How numerous are the contemplation we think of with our minds and feel with our hearts when we make the sign of the cross!
