The front is a crucifix, the corpus set against a raised disc with spiral scrolls worked into the ends of the arms and the upright. The reverse is broad and plain but for a sunken round medallion, in which a bearded man leans on his staff mid-stream with a child riding on his shoulder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat is Saint Christopher, whose name means Christ-bearer. The legend has him carrying an unknown child across a flooded river and finding the weight of the whole world on his back, the Child he had served without knowing it. He has been the patron of travelers for centuries, invoked by anyone on the road, at sea or in the air, and setting him opposite the crucifix makes this a natural piece for someone often away from home.\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":48943657287865,"sku":"3c3-65-B","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-65-B.png?v=1787688787","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-st-christopher-crucifix-cross","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
