Crucifix Giveaway

Forgive my tardiness.  I had originally planned to post this Giveaway on Friday, but Uncle Billy's funeral went longer than I had anticipated.

However, here it is!

I'm excited to announce that I'll be giving away four different crucifixes, each a beautiful bit or art.

First up is this amazing Stations of the Cross crucifix.  The little boxes each depict a different station.  It's small enough to really use as a prayer tool, but it's obviously great to hang on the wall, too.

I just found the size perfect to keep by my bedside for personal prayer.  It's like having the Stations of the Cross in my parish church right in the palm of my hand!

So for Lent, I thought this was a very fitting prize for those looking to deepen their understanding of (and appreciation for) Christ's Passion.

It's just magnificent.

Next in line is a dream for those devotees of Divine Mercy. St. Faustina joins Christ as Divine Mercy onto this wood cross.  The "shine" you see is the reflective gold paint the artist used to create a border and accents.  

Three doting cherubs look down in wonder at the gift of Divine Mercy while St. Faustina is consistently at prayer for all of her "poor souls."

This is the largest crucifix in the giveaway, standing at 12" high, this would be great as an entryway crucifix.  It is bold, different, and a great reminder that Christ's death, though terrible, was, in fact, a gift of Divine Mercy.  He died not to condemn, but to reconcile.

Again, sorry for the glare.  I was taking these images with an iPhone, so not all of them came out as nicely as I'd hoped.  

Anyway, this is a truly beautiful crucifix.  It's called an "Archangels Crucifix" because of the presence of St. Gabriel (holding the lillies to signify purity and truth), St. Raphael (holding a staff to represent healing) and St. Michael at the foot of the cross defeating the serpent.  At the top, these three archangels lead the "host of angels" behind them in prayer and contemplation of the Triune Sacrifice a the center of the cross.  

This colorful cross is about 6" high and is STUNNING.

Finally, we have this little guy.

This is a small cross depicting the Trinity in all their infamous iconic appearances.  Each branch of the cross contains a different variation on well-known iconography of the Most Holy Trinity.

I love this because of the way it forces folks to remember that we didn't just sacrifice Christ on Calvary.  The sacrifice was a TRIUNE sacrifice.  God the Father and the Holy Spirit took just as much an active role in this mercy as Jesus.  This beautiful cross depicts their loving, united relationship so wonderfully.  

Even at only 3.5" it packs a powerful punch!
