Blessed by Pope Leo XIV

We personally bring our items to the Vatican, where the Holy Father bestows his Apostolic Blessing on the religious items present.

Comes with a holy card of the Papal blessing.

How the papal blessing works

Wear the sign of St. Francis: a Tau cross in olive wood, about one inch, hung on a simple cord and blessed by Pope Leo XIV.

  • Size: 2.5 cm -- 1" x 1"
  • Material: Olive wood on a cord; the wood grain varies, so each cross differs slightly in tone, never in size or form
  • Blessing: Blessed by Pope Leo XIV
  • Shipping: Ships from Rome, Italy

St. Anthony of Egypt bore the tau on his cloak, and St. Francis of Assisi made it his personal signature after hearing Pope Innocent III preach on the symbol. Today it marks the Franciscan family worldwide, a plain wooden letter that preaches simplicity better than words.

Care

Keep wood away from water and direct heat. A soft dry cloth is all it needs.
