13 in. Cherry stained wood with Italian resin corpus and INRI. Includes 2 candles and 1 holy water bottle.

Crafted from cherry-stained wood, this cross exudes warmth and elegance. Cherry wood is prized for its rich color and distinctive grain pattern, making it a popular choice for religious artifacts. The corpus, representing the figure of Christ on the cross, is made of resin and crafted in Italy. Resin allows for intricate detailing, capturing the nuances of Christ's form with reverence and precision. Italian craftsmanship ensures high quality and attention to detail. Above the corpus, the INRI inscription is traditionally placed. It stands for the Latin phrase "Iesus Nazarenus, Rex Iudaeorum" (Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews), symbolizing Jesus' title during his crucifixion. This inscription adds authenticity and symbolism to the cross. Included in the set are two candles, often used in religious ceremonies and rituals to symbolize light, purity, and the divine presence. Also part of the set is a holy water bottle, a common item in Catholic and Orthodox traditions. Holy water is used for blessings, purification, and spiritual protection, making it an essential component of religious practices.
