This holding cross is a premium quality cross made out of the highest quality olive wood available. To ensure this high quality, the wood used has gone through a seven-year natural drying process and a special protective treatment. The refined wood is then handcrafted by Christian artisans, who give an exclusive finish to fine environmentally friendly creations. It is deliberately uneven, in order to fit into a hand more comfortably than a “correctly shaped” cross would do.
It will develop its own natural patina as it is held and handled over time. Hold it and take comfort from it. It is the perfect companion for your prayers and meditation. It has been said that sometimes it is enough simply to hold the cross silently – this is itself prayer. If you or someone you know is ill simply holding the cross may be the best way to pray.
It comes with a certificate of authenticity, and an explanation card with Psalm 23 on the reverse.
Each cross is approx. 11 cm height and 7 cm wide / 4.5" height and 2.75" wide.
