"When an Eastern Orthodox or Byzantine catholic bishop or priest blesses with the sign of the cross, he holds the fingers of his right hand in such a way that they form the Greek abbreviation for Jesus Christ "IC XC". The index finger is extended to make the "I"; the middle finger signify letter "C"; the thumb touches the lowered third finger to signify the "X" and the little finger also signifies the letter "C"."
Always has been a symbol of salvation.
Cool pretty skeptical and it was gross that i even ran across it. I'll delete this so fake news doesn't spread.
