I designed and carved the original. The piece is cast in lead-free pewter. Each cross comes with a card that, on one side, gives places to write the name of the recipient, that of the giver, and the date. The other side of the card states:
"This cross has traditional images of Confirmation: the dove (Holy Spirit) descending, symbolizing, in part, that the life of the person being confirmed will be infused with the blessings of Christ and the Church; and the Cup and Host. Also, on the front, are the words, 'Peace be with you,' which are said by the Bishop to the newly confirmed person near the end of the Confirmation Mass. The blessing of peace is meant not just for the moment of Confirmation, but to carry into the newly confirmed person’s entire life. The message on the back of the cross, in Latin, echoes that on the front: Peace be with you. The cross was handmade at In the Company of Saints."
Dimensions: 3.5 (h) x 2 (w) inches
