Olive Wood Tau Pendant with Carved Corpus
Handcrafted Olive Wood Tau Cross on Cotton Cord
1” High
This beautifully handcrafted olive wood Tau cross features a carved corpus of Christ, combining two powerful symbols of Christian faith into one meaningful devotional piece. Carefully made in Assisi, Italy—the beloved hometown of St. Francis—each pendant is crafted from genuine olive wood, highlighting the rich grain and natural beauty unique to every piece.
The Tau cross was embraced by St. Francis of Assisi as a sign of God's love, salvation, and a life devoted to Christ. The addition of the corpus serves as a moving reminder of Christ's sacrifice and the hope found in His resurrection, making this pendant a beautiful expression of faith and Franciscan spirituality.
Suspended from a simple brown cord, this lightweight pendant is comfortable for everyday wear and makes a thoughtful gift for anyone seeking a tangible reminder of Christ's presence and St. Francis' enduring message of peace, humility, and love.
Whether worn for prayer, devotion, or as a symbol of one's faith journey, this handcrafted cross carries with it the spirit of Assisi and the timeless values of the Franciscan tradition.
Made in Assisi.
