A vine of small leaves runs the length of the shaft and out along both arms, and open flower rosettes bloom at the arm ends and at the flared foot. Against that patterned ground the corpus stands plain and slender, the head bowed to the right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFoliate crosses like this one belong to an old and beautiful habit of thought that reads the cross as the tree of life — the dead wood of Calvary putting out leaf and flower even in the hour of the Passion. Christians have carried that image since the earliest centuries, and it turns the crucifix from a record of death into a promise of life kept close all day.\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":48943460024505,"sku":"3c3-622-B","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-622-B.png?v=1787688722","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-crucifix-with-leaves-and-flowers","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
