How the papal blessing works

Olive wood Tau cross

It’s believed that St. Francis used the Tau as an amulet to protect against plagues and diseases, rampant at the time.

Size (1.2 x 1 1/2")


3.7 cm x 3.4 cm
This is a beautiful wooden Tau cross.
Ideal gift.
Franciscan cross often worn as a pendant or a charm, as a reminder of commitment to Christian beliefs.
As olive wood has different veins, the cross you are purchasing could differ a little from the one in the picture, but not in size or form.
St. Anthony of Egypt bore a cross in the form of a tau on his cloak. The Tau Cross is most commonly used in reference to the Franciscan Order and Saint Francis of Assisi, who adopted it as his personal coat of arms after hearing Pope Innocent III talk about the Tau symbol. It is now used as a symbol of the Franciscan Order.
This precious tau cross was originally blessed by Pope Francis, it is now also blessed by Pope Leo XIV
