2" Irish Penal Crucifix Antique Rosary Model CX419

2" Irish Penal Crucifix – Antique Model in Sterling or Gold Bronze

This Irish Penal Crucifix is an exact replica of an antique model, measuring 2 inches (50 mm) in height. Rooted in Ireland’s Catholic heritage, it reflects the clandestine religious expression of the Penal Era, when symbols of the faith had to be small, symbolic, and discreet.

The front features the Crucified Christ beneath the INRI inscription, surrounded by stylized rays representing divine light. Unique to the Irish Penal design, this cross includes iconographic symbols such as a ladder, nails, spear, and sacred heart—each representing elements of the Passion of Christ.

The reverse is flat and unembellished, characteristic of these historic devotional pieces, allowing for easy integration into rosaries or wear as a pendant.

Available in sterling silver and gold bronze, this crucifix is a powerful expression of Catholic resilience and devotion, suitable for personal use or as a meaningful gift.
