12KT Gold
filled Scriptures Cross
"I shall never forget the Clonmacnois"
Pope
John Paul II
This is a genuine 12KT
Gold filled* Cross of the Scriptures, on a 24 inch endless goldplated
stainless steel curb style chain. (An endless chain has no clasp to mess
with, it just slips over your head) This cross is 1&3/4" tall by 13/16"
wide. The design is intricate, as you can see from the enlarged photo. The
raised circles are meant to symbolize head, heart, hands and feet of the
crucified Christ. The back of the cross is smooth and bears the 12KT Gold
filled mark. |
| This gold cross
pendant is new and ships in a gray flocked hinged Where's My Jewelry? box. The
design of this cross is taken from the famous 10 foot tall Irish Cross of
the Scriptures at Clonmacnois on the River Shannon in Ireland. The eastern
view of this great stone cross, also known as King Flann's Cross, is the
side that is replicated here. The original Cross of the Scriptures is
believed to be the site of King Flann's grave. The scenes depicted on the
face of the cross include:
-
God the Father holds the cross in the Last Judgment and
Michael Archangel trumpets joy.
-
Evil being repelled.
-
Moses Praying.
-
Christ gives the keys to Peter and the book of Love to Paul.
-
St. Ciaran and King Dermot are working together.
* What
is gold filled? Gold filled or gold overlay is a process of pressure bonding a
thin layer of gold to a base metal core (usually brass). Gold filled (unlike
gold plating) has an actual layer of gold, giving it more value and making it
tarnish-resistant.
