Details
When a religious legacy follows an art piece, you may feel called to bring it into your home to connect with all who have gone before you. This crucifix of St. Peter’s Basilica is such a piece. Originally created in the early 14th century, the crucifix is one of the few artifacts that have survived over the tumultuous centuries. For example, St. Catherine of Sienna could not stop praying in front of this wooden crucifix in her final days. Measuring 8.38”W x 13.25”H, the copy of the crucifix of St. Peter’s Basilica is made from 48% resin, 48% stone, and 4% paint.
The crucifix of St. Peter’s Basilica is ready to hang so you can enjoy it immediately upon receiving it. The masterful crucifix of St. Peter’s Basilica was repaired by Michelangelo and was dressed as a soldier when Rome was sacked in 1527 and the basilica converted into a stable amid the slain bodies of the Swiss Guard. In 2016, the crucifix of St. Peter’s Basilica was restored once again and now hangs in the altar in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel where thousands of pilgrims can view it each year.
