The Cross of St Francis.
The San Damiano Cross is part of the Renaissance Collection.

San Damiano cross measures 18 inches High X 13.25 inches Wide X 1.5 inches Deep, made of a resin/stone mix.

The San Damiano Cross is the cross in front of which St Francis was praying when he heard Our Lord speak to him. St Francis was told to rebuild the Church. The original cross now hangs in Santa Chiarra (St Claire) Church in Assisi, Italy.

The cross is called an icon cross because it contains images of people who have a part in the meaning of the cross. The purpose of the icon cross was to teach the meaning of the event depicted and thereby strengthen the faith of the people.
