In the first centuries, many crosses of different shapes appeared, but the changing shape of the cross did not distort the essence: A cross of every shape is a true cross, said the Rev. Theodore Studit. (However, even today one can hear rather strange statements: this cross is blessed, and this one is not.)

In the first centuries of Christianity, the cross was not worn. They wore medallions with the image of a slain Lamb or a Crucifixion. It is known that St. Gregory the Great sent Theodelinda, Queen of Lombardy, two flat medallions with the image of a Crucifix on them to be worn on her chest. He also sent crosses to other people to wear.
