Mexican Handpainted Cross with Milagros and Large Our Lady of Guadalupe, 9.5"

Product Description

Milagros (“miracles”) are small metal religious charms and symbols found in many areas of Latin America, especially Mexico and Peru. These small charms, in a wide range of subjects, are typically nailed or pinned to crosses or wooden statues of various saints, the Virgin Mary or Christ, as well as sacred objects such as this cross. Created by artists in the colonial town of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, this and the other crosses in our collection are individually handpainted in the style for which they’re famous, and considered art pieces. The wood cross shown here measures 9.5”H, and is covered with Milagros over the entire cross, and especially surrounding the large image of Our Lady of Guadalupe at center. Slight variations in Milagros and coloring will occur with each piece, due to the handcrafted artistry of each cross.
