2" Passion Cross Antique (50.8 mm) – Antique Replica in Sterling Silver or Gold Bronze
This Passion Cross Antique measures approximately 2 inches (50.8 mm) in height and is an exact replica of an antique or vintage piece, authentically recreated in sterling silver or gold bronze. It powerfully encapsulates the traditional Catholic devotion to the Passion of Christ through richly symbolic, detailed imagery.
The piece is a Latin Cross, with elongated vertical proportions and shorter arms. On the front side, it features a prominent image of the Holy Face of Jesus crowned with thorns, set at the center where the arms meet. Above the head appears the inscription INRI, representing "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews." Flanking the central image, the crossbars bear additional Passion symbols: on the left, the hammer and nails, and on the right, the spear and sponge. The lower section of the cross features the Veronica’s Veil and the Lamb of God, tying together the sacrificial meaning of Christ’s suffering.
The reverse side of the cross is centered around a radiant image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, surrounded by the inscription "Réparation Perpétuelle" (Perpetual Reparation), emphasizing the call to continual prayer and acts of devotion in reparation for sins. The vertical arm is adorned with finely detailed flowers, symbolizing resurrection, purity, and hope.
The style of this cross belongs to early 20th-century French devotional art, blending sacred symbolism with strong, direct modeling. It reflects the influence of the Arts and Crafts Movement, with its emphasis on hand-detailed surfaces, meaningful natural motifs, and spiritual sincerity rather than mass production.
This Passion Cross Antique is ideal for wearing as a deeply devotional pendant, incorporating into a prayer practice, or treasuring as a reminder of the profound mysteries of Christ’s Passion and Mercy.
Its French devotional Arts and Crafts cross design radiates timeless reverence, strength, and the call to perpetual faith and reparation.
