A holding cross is an asymmetric holding cross that is made to fit ergonomically into the palm of one’s hand. It is also known as a comfort cross, due to the comfort that it provides to its owner. These are individually handcrafted from aged olive wood. Each cross is unique due to the variations in the grain of the wood and this enhances the beauty of each individual piece.
It is thought that the holding cross is based on an ancient design found in ancient European chapels. Although the origin of the holding/comfort cross tradition is not known, it is thought that it dates back to the early Christians.
Who should buy this Holding/Comfort Cross?
- Anyone who is in a time of struggle or loss and is looking for guidance.
- Anyone who needs to find comfort and is looking for solace.
- Anyone who is struggling to cling to their faith.
- Anyone who is looking for a companion for their prayers and meditation.
If you or someone you know is ill simply holding the cross may be the best way to pray.
It is the ideal gift to mark most gift giving occasions such as a baptism, confirmation, birthday, Easter, Christmas or just to give to someone to say Thank You.
It is recommended to keep a supply of these crosses ready to give to your loved ones in their times of need. They will make a much cherished gift.
I have sold thousands of these over the last year, with customers coming back for more time after time. Amongst my customers who have bought from me in bulk are schools (to hand out to each pupil and staff member), churches, chaplains of hospitals and prisons, hospice volunteers and managers and many, many more.
Please note that these crosses are environmentally friendly as they are made only from the prunings of ancient olive trees growing in the Bethlehem region, the site of the nativity of Jesus (Matt 2, Luke 2).
