A beautifully detailed cross design, based on the famous San Damiano Cross that was painted in the 1100s and hung in an abandoned chapel near Assisi.
 
St. Francis of Assisi was deep in prayer before this cross, when he heard the voice of God, commanding him to "rebuild my church".
 
This cross shows Jesus on the Cross, with Our Mother Mary and St. John the Evangelist on His right. And on His left, Mary Magdalene, Mary (Mother of James), and the centurion who asked Jesus Christ to heal his son in Matthew's Gospel.
 
The purpose of this cross was to teach the meaning of Christ's Passion, the events depicted, and to strengthen the faith of the people.

On the back reads (in Latin):
The Lord bless you and keep you, 
The Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you,
The Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace. 
God bless you.
