It is the size given at a baptism, small enough to lie flat against an infant, and it is usually the first religious object a Catholic owns. Most are kept safe for years and returned to the child later, at a first Communion or a confirmation, so that the cross laid beside the font is the same one worn afterward. Nothing about it competes for attention; the modelling is quiet and the surface takes an antiqued finish evenly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe christening crucifix was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves the cross'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":48943435579577,"sku":"3c3-706-B","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-706-B.png?v=1787688712","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-simple-christening-crucifix-7-8-inch","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
