Pope Francis Glass Crystal

Own a meaningful piece of Catholic history with this Special Edition Rosary, created to commemorate the historic visit of Pope Francis to Southeast Asia. This beautifully crafted rosary is more than just a devotional item—it's a powerful spiritual keepsake.

 

At the center of this rosary is a medal featuring Pope Francis and Our Lady, Undoer of Knots—a Marian devotion deeply cherished by the Holy Father. The crucifix is an official replica of Pope Francis’ Pectoral Cross, an iconic symbol of his papacy, depicting Christ the Good Shepherd carrying the lost sheep with the Holy Spirit above—a moving image of mercy, compassion, and divine guidance.

 

Crafted in Italy by master artisans, the silver oxidized die-cast crucifix is intricately detailed and bears the engraved signature of sculptor Antonio Vedele, offering authenticity and artistry in one sacred piece.

 

Adorned with yellow and white glass crystal beads—symbolizing the colors of the Vatican flag—this rosary radiates both beauty and meaning. Whether used in prayer or worn as a devotional piece, it serves as a lasting reminder of Pope Francis' message of love, humility, and peace.

 

Perfect for gifting or preserving as a collector’s item. Thanks to our exclusive partnership with the authorized Italian manufacturer of the Pope Francis Cross, we are able to offer this authentic piece directly to you at the best value.

The original Pope Francis Pectoral Cross, weighing approximately 80 grams, is crafted from sterling silver and holds a unique place in religious art and history. Unlike many ecclesiastical ornaments produced by Vatican goldsmiths, this iconic cross was created by Giuseppe Albrrizzi, a master artisan from Pavia, Italy.

 

Albrrizzi humbly acknowledges that while he crafted the cross, its powerful design was conceived by his mentor, the late Antonio Vedele, a renowned Italian sculptor who passed away in 1997. The cross’s design captures the essence of Pope Francis’ mission—depicting Christ as the Good Shepherd, carrying the lost sheep with the Holy Spirit hovering above, symbolizing divine guidance and compassion.

 

Pope Francis has worn this meaningful cross since his time as Archbishop of Buenos Aires, choosing it for its profound message of humility, mercy, and care for the marginalized.
