Product Details
This crucifix is given over to growing things. Each of its four arms breaks into a cluster of leaves and open flowers cut deeply enough to hold shadow, a burst of rays spreads behind the crossing, and a small beaded cross sits within the cross where the arms meet.
Flowering crosses belong to a long tradition that reads the cross as a living tree, the dead wood that blossomed, the instrument of execution turned into the source of life. Where a plain crucifix holds the sorrow of Good Friday, this one keeps Easter in view at the same time, and the rays behind the figure say the same thing again. It is an old and hopeful way of picturing the Passion, and the deep relief of the flowers gives the piece real presence, whether it is worn or hung on a wall.
The Crucifix with Flowers and Leaves was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves the crucifix's vintage character.
- Made in the USA
- Artisan-cast from an antique original
- Finished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.
- Buy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace
- Add a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear
- Arrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box
