The Cross is not only the “symbol” or “sign” of Christ, but it is also way of life for the Christians or rather “THE way of life for the Christians”. Just as there is no true Christ without the Cross, so there is no true Christian without the Cross, that is, without participation in the Cross of Christ, as the Savior himself tells us: “He who does not lift up his cross and follow me, cannot be my disciple”(Luke 9:27)
