M-30 New Jerusalem Cross Pendant

The M-30 New Jerusalem Cross Pendant is a solid bronze rendering of the Jerusalem Cross — also known as the Crusader's Cross or Five-Fold Cross — worn on a brown cord. It's a good fit for anyone drawn to Holy Land devotional history, pilgrimage gifts, or a confirmation/RCIA keepsake with deeper symbolism than a plain crucifix.

Symbolism: The large center cross represents Christ, and the four smaller crosslets represent the four Evangelists carrying the Gospel to the four corners of the world — together the five crosses are traditionally read as the five wounds of the Passion. The design dates to the First Crusade in the 11th century.

Care: Bronze may darken naturally over time; a light polish with a jewelry cloth restores shine. Store away from moisture when not worn.
