Etymology edit

From Proto-Slavic *krьstъ.

Noun edit

крьстъ (krĭstŭm

  1. cross
    • from the Homily against the Bogumils, 329-331:
      о крьстѣ же господьни сице блазнѧще сѧ глаголѭтъ: како сѧ ѥмоу ѥстъ кланꙗти? сꙑна бо божиꙗ жидове на немь распѧшѧ.
      o krĭstě že gospodĭni sice blaznęšte sę glagoljǫtŭ: kako sę jemu jestŭ klanjati? syna bo božija židove na nemĭ raspęšę.
      As for the Lord's cross, here are the blasphemies they produce: How can we adore it? It was on it that the Jews crucified the son of God.
