Ok I didn't know this. Thank you. Any more, I'm wary of many things unless I'm already quite familiar with it. Some of the "woke" left symbols have added stuff on them . Few things as good as a chopper driver...all my best to his success. http://www.illustrationsinmotion.com/index.html

By tradition it is slanted. some say to symbolize the criminals crucified along side of Jesus also the orthodox cross has an additional short bar at the top also , the Russians apparently omitted that when separating from the eastern orthodox Catholicism. what is interesting is how far back the Russians sought to control religion they were outright hostile and persecuting belivers back to the 1820s of any religion not Russian orthodoxic including the older religions a unification around one belief that the Russian government had it's hand in so that they there wasn't anyone but Russians a unification and nationalism used to drive all else out then control the people for communisms America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

There weren't any Greek Orthodox churches in our area, so he ended up going to a Lutheran church much of his life.
