Christ is crucified on the lower bar, the upper bar and the flared arm ends are filled with fine scrollwork, two winged angels kneel below turned inward toward the shaft, and a small skull rests at the foot as the reminder of Golgotha.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cross takes its name from Caravaca de la Cruz in Murcia, where a relic of the True Cross has been venerated since the thirteenth century and carried in procession each May. The angels belong to the story: they are said to have brought the cross to the town, and Spanish makers have shown them holding it ever since. The reverse is worked as fully as the front, a standing robed figure on the shaft in place of the corpus, so the cross reads well whichever way it turns.\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":48943442559161,"sku":"3c3-656-B","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-656-B.png?v=1787688715","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-old-caravaca-cross-with-angels","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
