Just as in a document, when the seal is not properly stamped, the document is not valid and is invalid, so a cross that we do not do correctly is not a cross! It must be done correctly! Forehead, abdomen and the two shoulder blades. The cross we make, symbolizes our own crucifixion, the crucifixion of our passions and our will. Unfortunately, most people don’t know the power of the cross and make a cross that is not a cross. They move their hands as if they were stirring the air or beating the air. They make a cross upside down, a cluster, like a hornet’s nest! It’s a blasphemous thing to do! Of the 1000 who make their cross in church, only 2 do it right…
Dimitrios Panagopoulos Preacher (1916 -1982)
