The original from which this cross was cast is an 18th Century Mission Cross made in Spain and unearthed in Mexico.
It is special in that it served two purposes: first, it was used as a gift for Native Americans in hopes of conversion, and second, after conversion, the powerful symbols on the Cross aided in teaching new Christians about the atonement of Christ through the “Instruments of the Passion.” Sometimes called the weapons of Christ, these Instruments of the Passion were used by Christ to conquer Satan and the sins of the world.
By displaying these symbols, Catholic priests could connect to their converts, explaining the key doctrine of Christ’s atonement, and his sacrifice for all man’s sins.
On the other side of this cross is a haloed Christ on the Cross with the letters INRI (on a Titulus Crucis), an abbreviation for the Latin: Iesus Nazarenus, Rex Iudaeorum. In English: “Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews,” posted on the cross by order of the Roman procurator, Pontius Pilate. The skull under the feet of Christ is the Momento Mori -representing the mortality of man - and to reming the wearer that while earthly pleasures die away, salvation through Christ is eternal.
The silver version of this cross is cast with our exclusive blend of shipwreck silver from four shipwrecks: Atocha - 1622, the 1715 Fleet, Le Chameu - 1725 and Santa Leocadia - 1800. To read about how we blend our authentic shipwreck silver, where the treasure came from, and the history of these shipwrecks, check out Robert's Blog "Shipwreck Silver - the Story Behind the Story."
