The story
Who we are
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” — Hebrews 11:1
We met as a large company of believers — young people from different cities and different lives, brought together for reasons that have nothing to do with chance. We carried different jobs, but the same impatient hunger for the Lord, and the same conviction that faith is not something you hide.
We found ourselves in monasteries, in liturgies, in all-night conversations. We learned from the fathers, not through words but through silences — the way they bowed before the bread, the way they saw strangers as family.
When we returned to the noise of the cities, we needed a way to remember. Something to wear, something people could see, like a confession between us.
That was the first piece. We made it for ourselves. Then we made more, for the brothers and sisters who saw them and asked. Then for everyone who recognises the cross.
TheUnder the Cross began as a confession of faith.
