Every terminal breaks into a scrolled leaf, and a foliate crest rises above the head of Christ, so a great deal of ornament is packed into a very small compass. The corpus is slight and simply cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet into the crest is a small scroll lettered \u003cstrong\u003eINRI\u003c\/strong\u003e, for \u003cem\u003eIesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum\u003c\/em\u003e, Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews. To find that title on a crucifix meant for a newly baptised child is the whole point of the sacrament in one line: the child is given, on the first day, the name of the King under whom the rest of the life will be lived. It suits a christening gift, a child's rosary, or a keepsake put away until a confirmation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe crucifix was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves its vintage character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtisan-cast from an antique original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Equatoria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48943504228537,"sku":"3c3-415-B","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-415-B.png?v=1787688732","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-christening-crucifix-with-leafy-ends","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
