Product Details
The Vintage White Bronze San Damiano Crucifix follows the painted cross of San Damiano, the one before which St. Francis knelt and heard the charge to rebuild the Church. Christ is shown living rather than dying, eyes open and arms wide, and the arms of the cross are crowded with the small witnessing figures and angels of the original painting, with a further scene set in the panel above his head.
The reverse is given over to words. ASSISI stands across the top arm, and beneath it runs the blessing St. Francis wrote out for Brother Leo: Benedicat tibi Dominus et custodiat te... et det tibi pacem. May the Lord bless you and keep you; may he show his face to you and have mercy on you; may he turn his countenance toward you and give you peace. A Tau cross, the mark Francis used as his own signature, stands at the foot.
The San Damiano crucifix was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves its vintage character.
- Made in the USA
- Artisan-cast from an antique original
- Finished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.
- Buy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace
- Add a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear
- Arrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box
