I am Catholic so we don’t have the same crucifix. Thank you!

I never attended a Russian Orrhodox church. As a senior (76 years later) I wore it at my Christian baptizium. I was always curious about the strange symbols on my cross. It’s interesting that the skelton skull, at the bottom of the cross, is Adam’s! I’m still wondering about some of the other markings, particularly the one at the very top of the cross. Is it leaves, wings, bird, angels??? Or something else?
