DAILY DOUBLE!!!!!! Congrats, you found the daily double! However, this means that this question is somewhat hard and tricky and requires you to THINK!! Why is the Orban a circle? How many crosses are on the Orban? How many holes are on the Orban and what do they represent? What phrase is printed on the Orban?
The Orban is a circle because it represents how God does not have a beginning or an end - He is everlasting. There are a total of 13 crosses: there is one big cross in the middle that represents Jesus, and there are twelve crosses around the big cross representing the disciples. There are 5 holes that represent the wounds of Jesus when he died on the cross. Agios Otheos, Agios Esheros, Agios Athanatos” are printed on the Orban, which mean “Holy God, holy Mighty, holy Immortal”.
