Howdy All, I just found this 925 ring at a local swimming hole. As I read it, it says..... ROGIIOH GIIAGH H GOXPANH M R . Anybody Know what it says. Thanks Steve

Looks like a Russian Orthodox prayer ring, maybe this? Orthodox Russian Silver Ring w Prayer to Jesus Christ Jesus Save and Protect | eBay

Here's one in a different style that allows you to see the whole saying at the same time: http://www.ebay.com/itm/RUSSIAN-ORT...514?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20d86b8cc2

the cross upon the ring is a "orthodox" cross no doubt about it ------ I think from the language upon it ---it is Russian Orthodox ..if not then Greek Orthodox .

It says "Lord, save and protect me" in old Church Slavic language (Господи, спаси и сохрани мя / Gospodi, spasi i sohrani my)

russians use that church language the way Catholics used to use Latin...
