The corpus hangs against a rayed disc set behind the head, the ribs and the knotted loincloth modelled with unusual delicacy, and a small titulus lettered \u003cem\u003eINRI\u003c\/em\u003e sits on the upright above.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThose four letters stand for \u003cem\u003eIesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum\u003c\/em\u003e, Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews, the charge Pilate ordered fixed to the cross in Hebrew, Greek and Latin. It was written as an accusation and has been read ever since as the plain truth. The lilies at the arms answer it, the flower of purity and of resurrection, so that the instrument of death flowers at its four ends. At two inches the crucifix suits a wall or a bedside table as readily as daily wear.\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":48943569502393,"sku":"3c3-1357-B","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1357-B.png?v=1787688758","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-crucifix-with-lily-tips","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
