Antonius El-Baramousy notes the cross’s meaning permeates the text despite lacking explicit mention. The journey spans the encounter of love and reconciliation on the cross, the cross and preparation for the spring of life with the Bridegroom, and the cross as the bride’s means to enter her depths to find the Bridegroom. It explores the cross as the mystery of beauty and means of victory and bearing fruit, linking the cross and repentance, the cross and pastoral care, and the cross and preparation for service. This culminates in the cross and ascending to the level of brotherhood and work with the Heavenly Bridegroom. Ultimately, the cross remains love’s practical arena for salvation.
