A-2 Grave marker

Hi, Folks,

I had this image sent to me today as a group of different grave markers.

Any one know its origin and info about it?

It's a bit hard to see on my phone but the text appears to be in Greek and are they G. Orthodox crosses?

Hi, Andrew,

Just checked Wikipedia and yes, they are Greek Orthodox crosses.

Maybe a memorial graveyard somewhere in Greece??????

Cheers,

No those arn't Greek Crosses, they're Russian/Serbian Crosses and the text is in either Slavonic or Russian.

(Greek Crosses don't have the slanted beam nor the title for King of the Jews)
