Vintage Bronze St. Benedict Crucifix, Small
Product Details
The Vintage Bronze St. Benedict Crucifix is slim and quiet, with plain flared arms and nothing to compete with the figure. The corpus is modeled with real care for its size, a small disc set behind the head. On the reverse, a round St. Benedict medallion fills the crossing, the saint standing with his staff and his book.
Benedictine crucifixes have carried that medallion for centuries. Benedict's medal is the Church's great emblem of protection, and joining it to the cross unites the two things his followers lean on most: the crucified Christ, and the abbot's steady rule of life set against every kind of disorder. The saint holds the staff of his office and the book of that rule, which begins by asking only that we listen. Small, plain and easy to wear, this crucifix is a compact statement of both halves of the Benedictine tradition.
The St. Benedict 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
