Celebrate Greek Orthodox tradition with this Constantinato pendant, made in Athens, Greece. Also known as a Konstantinato, this traditional Greek religious medallion features Saints Constantine and Helen on one side and a blue mati (evil eye) with the sacred inscription IC XC NI KA on the other. Available in sterling silver 925 or 18K gold-plated sterling silver 925, it brings together Orthodox Christian symbolism and Greek heritage.
Saints Constantine and Helen are honored in the Greek Orthodox Church as Equal-to-the-Apostles. Saint Constantine helped establish religious freedom for Christians, while Saint Helen is associated with the discovery of the True Cross. Their feast day is celebrated on May 21.
The inscription IC XC NI KA is a traditional Christogram found in Orthodox Christian iconography. The letters abbreviate the Greek words for Jesus Christ conquers (Ιησούς Χριστός Νικά), expressing Christ's victory over death and the power of the Resurrection.
The reverse also features an evil eye (Greek mati), a traditional blue eye symbol believed to protect against ill will, envy, and negative energy—and is one of the most recognizable symbols in Greek culture.
