The stone cross in Old Orhei rises above the cliff near one of the rock monasteries.
According to local beliefs, if you place your hand in the middle of the cross and make a wish, it will definitely come true.
The cross is located at a height of approximately 60 meters above the river.
The stone cross in Old Orhei is located on a hill above the Reut River.
A bell tower stands nearby, an integral symbol of the cave church. The stone cross was erected on the edge of the steep cape in the 18th century and is inseparable from the landscape of the holy rock monastery.
In the center of the cross is a six-pointed flower, which represents the center of spiritual forces and the heart of the Moldovan people.
This sign is well known throughout the Orthodox world, as it is depicted on many frescoes and on the cast-iron floor in St. Sophia Cathedral in Kyiv.
The sign on the cross in the Old Orhei Museum-Reserve near the village of Butuceni was depicted a very long time ago, and no one knows why it was in this particular place.
