    Description

    This Ethiopian blessing hand cross is modeled on the hand crosses that priests of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church carry to bless the faithful. Its head is a lattice of openwork interlace: each arm ends in a knot, and small leaves sit between the arms, a design inspired by Ethiopian and Eritrean heritage.

    It is made of zinc alloy with a gold-color finish, bright and polished. The ringed handle bears the word JERUSALEM engraved along its length and ends in an openwork square base with a knot that echoes the head.

    At 23cm long, 7.5cm wide and 111g, it sits well in the hand and fits a prayer corner, an icon table or a display shelf. Delivered in a blue box, it makes a thoughtful gift for a baptism, Timkat, Meskel or a name day.

    What is an Ethiopian blessing cross?

    In the Ethiopian Orthodox Church the priest carries a hand cross to bless the faithful, who kiss it in veneration. This model takes up that shape for the home or as a gift.

    Is this cross made of real gold?

    No. It is made of zinc alloy with a gold-color finish, not solid gold.

    How big is this cross?

    It is 23cm long and 7.5cm wide, and weighs 111g. It comes in a blue box.

    How is it different from our Ethiopian cross with square rayed arms?

    The cross with square rayed arms is 17.8cm long, with rays engraved on a solid head. This one is larger, with an openwork interlaced head that lets the light through.
