Silver-plated San Damiano Crucifix, 3x2.5 in, brass. This San Damiano Cross, measuring 3.4 in tall and 2.6 in wide, represents one of the most famous Christian icons.
The figure of Christ is depicted upright and watchful, not bent by suffering, but alive and majestic, with a serene gaze that evokes divine transcendence.
The icon encapsulates the entire Christological mystery: the Incarnation, Death, Resurrection, and Glorification.
On the back of the cross, the words ''Assisi,'' a star, and a prayer in Latin are engraved: "Benedicat tibi Dominus et custodiat te. Ostendat faciem suam tibi et misereatur tui. Convertat vultum suum ad te et det tibi pacem. Dominus benedicat te".
This invocation wishes for blessing, mercy, and peace.
Additionally, above the letter ''P'' of the peace symbol, the TAU cross is depicted, further invoking Franciscan spirituality.
A symbol of faith and hope, ideal for personal reflection and devotion.
