Antique Gold Tau Cross Pendant

Metal Tau Cross Pendant

1" High - 26" Cord

This antique gold–tone Tau pendant is a timeless expression of Franciscan spirituality and faith. Inspired by the Tau cross embraced by St. Francis as a sign of conversion, peace, and devotion, the pendant features a softly textured finish that highlights its handcrafted, reverent character. Suspended from a dark braided cord, it offers a simple yet meaningful way to wear one’s faith close to the heart. Perfect for everyday wear or as a thoughtful gift, this Tau pendant serves as a quiet reminder of humility, peace, and a life lived in the spirit of Pax et Bonum.

The Tau is an ancient representation of the cross.  It is also the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet and is thought to be the sign with which Ezekiel marked those chosen by God (Ex 9:4). St. Francis loved the meaning of the Tau so much he signed his letters with this symbol.  When a Franciscan friar wears a habit and stands with his hands outstretched, he becomes a Tau, a living Tau.  The Tau is designated as the distinctive sign of the Franciscan Order.
