Solid Olive Wood Cross 20 cm Gold-Plated Pewter Risen Christ Made in Italy
The Solid Olive Wood Cross 20 cm Gold-Plated Pewter Risen Christ Made in Italy is a masterpiece of Italian craftsmanship and sacred design. This exquisite devotional cross features a hand-brushed, gold-plated pewter corpus representing the Risen Christ—a powerful image of hope, resurrection, and divine glory. Every element is carefully sculpted to capture the serene yet triumphant expression of Jesus, extending His arms in blessing and invitation.
Measuring 20 cm (7¾ inches) in height and weighing approximately 110 grams, this cross is made of solid olive wood—a precious material known for its strength, warmth, and spiritual symbolism. The smooth grain patterns and natural hues of the wood make each piece completely unique. The gold-plated corpus reflects divine light, while the olive wood signifies peace and endurance—the same tree that grew in the Garden of Gethsemane.
Handcrafted Devotional Art from Italy
Each crucifix is handmade in Italy by skilled artisans devoted to continuing the centuries-old tradition of sacred craftsmanship. The olive wood is shaped, polished, and finished by hand to create a flawless base for the gold-plated pewter figure of the Risen Christ. The result is a symbol of both artistic refinement and deep spiritual significance.
Unlike traditional crucifixes depicting the Passion, this cross celebrates the Resurrection—Christ triumphant over death. The outstretched arms of Jesus symbolize the open embrace of divine mercy, while the shining gold finish reminds the faithful of the eternal light of Easter morning. This piece serves as both an artistic treasure and a daily reminder of renewal and grace.
