The San Damiano crucifix in silver-tone metal — the Franciscan cross before which St. Francis of Assisi heard the call to rebuild the Church. Finely detailed on the front, with a blessing prayer on the reverse marked "Assisi."
Size: 1 1/2" (4.5 cm)
Material: Silver-tone metal, made in Italy
Detail: Prayer on the back
Blessing: Blessed by Pope Leo XIV during a public audience in St. Peter's Square

The original twelfth-century icon cross still hangs in Assisi, crowded with the witnesses of the Passion gathered around Christ. This pendant version makes a natural centerpiece for handmade rosaries, or a cross worn by anyone drawn to Franciscan spirituality.
