It is advisable to take action, visit the temple and pray, ask for deliverance from negativity.

In most cases, the loss is quickly discovered, but if this did not happen, then it is worth complaining to the will of the Lord.
Anyone can lose the cross. Priests in such cases are advised to purchase a new Orthodox amulet.
It is not worth delaying the acquisition of a new cross, even if there is a hope of finding the lost thing. Believers should always wear amulets, so you need to buy a cross as soon as possible and consecrate it!
Ancient beliefs
There is a sign – to lose the cross, which has been confirmed for centuries. The loss of the amulet means a lack of strength to carry your own cross of fate. The Lord sends a second chance to change life, gives several ways to choose, the main thing is that it turns out to be correct.
And also many believe that a person left without a cross loses protection. He is highly susceptible to corruption, witchcraft and magical effects. The Orthodox symbol provides a kind of shell that keeps its owner as if in an egg, through which a negative impact cannot break through.
Find the cross
The sign about the unexpected find of the cross has an ambiguous interpretation. You can consider prediction as the grace of the Creator, who warns against negative events.
The priests are convinced that the find of the cross is a sign from above. The Orthodox symbol will reliably protect its new owner, protect him from dangers, and will bring only good things to life.
The find must be picked up, even if a person is wary of using it. It is necessary to raise the cross in order to protect the sacred amulet from the desecration of atheists and unbelievers in the Lord. If a person does not plan to wear a church decoration, then it is recommended to take it to the temple and give it to the priest.
Some people are sure that it is by no means possible to raise a cross on the street, because all the negativity will fall on the new owner. These symbols constantly accumulate negative energy in themselves, it is not customary to pass them on by inheritance, but are placed in a coffin with the deceased.
A popular omen does not recommend taking a symbolic find, because sorcerers often use such objects to carry out black magic and rituals, send damage to people, thereby saving themselves from retribution for atrocities. Even if you find a product made of pure gold, you should not melt it into other jewelry, because all the negative energy will remain.
Breaking
Sometimes the cross suddenly breaks for unknown reasons. The priests say that you should not be intimidated, because the amulet could be made from poor quality material. And also cases of theft of especially valuable crucifixes are not uncommon, folk signs say:
- the Christian doubts the faith, shows cowardice, refuses to respect Christ;
- the owner of the cross is under a curse or a witchcraft ritual has been performed and it broke under the influence of negative energy;
- a person has many enemies and envious people.
A broken pectoral cross is categorically not recommended to be thrown away; it must be buried in a deserted place, and then purchase a new product and consecrate it.
If the amulet constantly falls, then a negative impact is sent to the person.
A popular omen advises never to take off the cross, even during physical labor or bathing. Some people are surprised because the chains are often broken. However, since antiquity it has been customary to wear crosses on special laces so that they hold tight.
