Pope Francis Pectoral Cross Rosary
Our Pope Francis Pectoral Cross Rosary, a beautiful fusion of tradition and contemporary papal symbolism. This unique rosary features the iconic Pectoral Cross design originally created by Antonio Vedele, paired with elegant black glass oval beads and a Miraculous Scroll centerpiece with silver accents.
The Crucifix
The centerpiece of this rosary is a faithful reproduction of Pope Francis' Pectoral Cross, designed by the late Antonio Vedele. This cross holds deep significance for Pope Francis, who chose to retain it from his days as Archbishop and Cardinal of Argentina, eschewing the traditional gold and jewel-adorned crosses of his predecessors.
Design Symbolism
The cross depicts a poignant scene of a shepherd tending to his flock, symbolizing Pope Francis' role as the spiritual caretaker of the faithful. This imagery reflects the Pope's commitment to humility, simplicity, and his special concern for the poor and marginalized.
