Description

This cross differs from the others in this cemetery. «ВОСЛАВУ БОГА ХРИСТА» ("To the glory of God Christ") is written in a semicircle on the upper «leaf» of the cross. The spelling of the word «МЛАДЕНІЦЬ» is also unusual. On other crosses this word was usually written either abbreviated or with the letter Н: МЛАНДЕНЄЦЬ. According to Professor T. H. Honcharuk, the name "Sotnykivske" arose from the inscription on this cross.
