Crafted in the heart of Italy from genuine olive wood and fine pewter, this beautiful Comfort Cross depicts a moving scene of Jesus on the Cross with the Blessed Virgin Mary at His feet, cradled in His side in a moment of divine compassion and human sorrow. The warm tones of the olive wood frame the soft silver hue of the metalwork, offering a harmonious blend of natural beauty and sacred symbolism. Known as the sorrowful mother cross.

Perfect for a home altar or as a pectoral cross.

Each cross is lovingly made near Assisi and draws spiritual power from its closeness to the land of saints. The cross fits perfectly in the hand, making it ideal for personal prayer, bedside reflection, hospital visits, or as a spiritual companion during times of suffering and grief. It is also a beautiful sacramental gift for sacraments, confirmations, and for those enduring trials—bringing consolation through the image of Mary who stood by Jesus in His passion.

Olive wood has long been a symbol of peace, endurance, and healing—sourced from the Holy Land region and used traditionally for religious artifacts. Combined with the sorrowful yet serene depiction of the Crucifixion, this Comfort Cross becomes not only a reminder of Christ’s sacrifice but also of His nearness to those who suffer.

Blessed by Pope Francis in St. Peter’s Square, can be blessed again upon request; this cross brings grace, comfort, and strength wherever it is placed or held.
