Cross of Calvary: The Gold Crucifix Pendant

April 12, 2011 by Jacki Christopher

“We believe that the history of the world is but the history of His influence and that the center of the whole universe is the cross of Calvary.” –Alexander MacLaren

Easter is the celebration of Christ’s death on the cross and resurrection into glory. Because he lives, we also live. Cross and crucifix pendants are visual symbols we wear to remind ourselves of the suffering of Christ and to proclaim our faith to the outside world.

Crucifix pendants, like the one shown here, feature a three-dimensional representation of the suffering Christ on the cross. It is an especially treasured symbol among Roman Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican and Lutheran believers. Though the crucifix was established as a representation in these churches during the medieval period, gold crucifixes continue in style and popularity today.

This Gold Crucifix Pendant is available in two sizes. The larger pendant, pictured here, measures 1 ¾’’ in height and weighs 3.5 grams. The pendant is also available in a slightly smaller version, measuring 1 ½’’ in height and weighing 2.6 grams. Both are crafted of highest-quality 14k yellow gold.
