Carved from olive wood, this Franciscan Tau cross brings the warm grain of the wood and the simplicity of St. Francis of Assisi to daily wear.
Size: 4 x 3.6 cm (1.6" x 1.2")
Material: Olive wood
Note: Wood grain varies, so each cross differs slightly from the photo - never in size or shape
Blessing: Blessed by Pope Leo XIV
Shipping: Ships from Rome, Italy
No two pieces of olive wood share the same figuring, so the cross you receive is genuinely yours alone. A fitting confirmation gift, and a natural choice for anyone drawn to Franciscan simplicity - a plain wooden sign, worn close, that says everything without a word.
Care
Keep wood away from water and direct heat. A soft dry cloth is all it needs.
