Description

ORANS (to pray) comes from the position of the hands during ancient prayer. (Now we see the Priest use this position during the Mass and it is also becoming more popular with laity as a prayer position).

THE IMAGE IN THE CROSS: A very common 3rd and 4th fresco as seen in the Catacombs of Rome, this figure could represent several possibiliteis: 1. The figure of Mary, praying for the soul of the deceased buried in that spot or 2. the ‘feminine’ side of the person who was buried there. This could be a male or female. (Tradition on medal crosses was to show Mary on one side and Christ on the other).
