{"product_id":"vintage-bronze-huguenot-form-cross","title":"Vintage Bronze Huguenot Form Cross","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Vintage Bronze Huguenot Form Cross is an eight-pointed cross with broad flaring arms, each pierced by a round opening and tipped with paired balls, cast with a rough, irregular surface that keeps every mark of the original.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe eight-pointed form has a long history behind it. It is the Maltese cross of the crusading orders, and its eight points have been read since the Middle Ages as the eight beatitudes, one for each blessing spoken on the mount. The shape was later taken up in France as the badge of Protestant families, which is where the familiar name comes from, but the cross itself is older than that use and older than the division it came to mark. Worn now, it carries the beatitudes and the plain endurance of people who kept faith through hard centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cross 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":48943448686777,"sku":"3c3-649-B","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-649-B.png?v=1787688715","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-huguenot-form-cross","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
