Greek Orthodox Christians typically make the sign of the cross by touching their forehead, chest, and then their right and left shoulders, symbolizing the Holy Trinity. In contrast, Coptic Orthodox Christians often touch their forehead, chest, and then their right shoulder followed by the left, which reflects their own theological and cultural traditions. These differences in the cross-signing practices illustrate the unique liturgical customs and interpretations of faith within the broader Orthodox Christian tradition. Both practices, however, express a deep reverence for the cross and the central beliefs of Christianity.
