Alexievsky cross, Stone wayside cross at Saint Sophia Cathedral, Russia.
The Alexievsky cross measures 174 centimeters in height and features four limestone points with widening ends on the cathedral's western wall.
Archbishop Alexei of Novgorod commissioned this cross in the fourteenth century, possibly after 1380 to commemorate the Battle of Kulikovo.
The cross branches contain intricate relief carvings depicting four Gospel scenes, including the Annunciation, Birth of Christ, and Ascension of the Lord.
Visitors can find the cross inside Saint Sophia Cathedral, positioned to the left of the central Assumption iconostasis for preservation purposes.
The lower section of the cross, lost during World War II, underwent reconstruction using gypsum materials during the 1950s and 1960s.
