All our listed items are original Christian devotionals. Some may have been cleaned or polished before their arrival, by their last caretaker. Their use is for personal devotion. Please note that same cross/medal prices vary, based on condition, age, and appearance.

Here for your consideration is one (1) of a small group of Vatican mint cast St. Benedict crosses that will be offered for sale individually that were formerly from the estate of Catholic Cardinal Bonaventura Cerruti.

These were all acquired by Bertha (the founder of Church-Woman Antiques), in 1933 directly from the Cardinals private secretary; the Cardinal would give them as gifts to VIP patrons of the Church. They have never been blessed or worn, and the patinas are unique to each cross. The cross is 1.75 inches long and weighs 9 grams of solid bronze.

Thanks for your kind support in our work!
