Behind his head and shoulders a broad fan of rays opens out, and across that fan runs an arched banner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe banner reads \u003cstrong\u003eINRI\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Latin abbreviation of \u003cem\u003eIesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum\u003c\/em\u003e, Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews. Pilate ordered the charge fixed above the cross in Hebrew, Greek and Latin, and when the chief priests asked him to change the wording he answered that what he had written, he had written. What was meant as mockery the Church has kept as a title of honor, and setting it against a sunburst says so without argument: the instrument of death read as the sign of a reign.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rayed crucifix with INRI banner 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.\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":48943651356857,"sku":"3c3-1004-B","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1004-B.png?v=1787688785","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-rayed-crucifix-with-inri-banner","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
