Wooden Cross Pendant with Leather Cord, 7 cm
Simplicity and Strength of a Symbol
The design of this pendant focuses on the essential – the classic shape of the Latin cross. Its smooth surface and natural wood texture create a look that is both modest and solid. The cross is suspended from a black leather cord with a simple yet secure knot. The length of the cord can be easily adjusted using two sliding knots, allowing you to wear the cross high on the neck or lower on the chest over a tunic or other garments.
The Cross in History
The cross is the most recognized symbol of Christianity, and wearing one has deep historical roots. In the Middle Ages, it was not only an expression of personal faith but also a protective amulet and a sign of belonging. Pilgrims undertaking perilous journeys to shrines like Rome, Santiago de Compostela, or Jerusalem wore crosses to signify their mission. For the knights of the Crusades, the cross, often sewn onto their surcoats, was a symbol of their holy vow and devotion. This simple wooden cross evokes the spirit of those times and their people.
