San Damiano Crucifix w/ Florentine border - 3 Inch

Product Description

The San Damiano Crucifix is the famous icon cross before which St. Francis of Assisi prayed at the time he received his commission from Jesus to rebuild the Church. What makes the San Damiano Crucifix unique is that it's an eastern-style painted icon crucifix that includes the saints who participated in Jesus' Life and Passion. Many Catholics look to this crucifix as a reminder that all Christians are called to be saints and have a part to play in His redemption.

This painted wood San Damiano Crucifix is an Italian replica of the original San Damiano Crucifix that still hangs in Assisi, Italy. It measures 3 1/2 inches in length and 2 1/2 inches wide, and is decorated with a wide golden Florentine border. This San Damiano Cross is small enough to fit over a door frame yet colorful enough to attract attention. This would also make a great gift for a loved one who has a special devotion to St. Francis of Assisi or a love for early Christian iconography.
