More Details
We can hold onto a Comfort Cross while praying or when it is too difficult to pray. It can help us turn to God when we feel weakest. You can keep it nearby on a prayer table or in a pocket.
Our loved ones can hold it when they pray for us. Since we did not apply a wood finish, the natural oils from the hands of all who hold it for comfort and prayer will protect the wood. The reassurance of their love and support is embedded in the wood.
The first known Comfort Crosses were made in the USA in 2001. The husband of a hospice worker made small wooden crosses with smooth, rounded edges for the patients to hold for comfort and prayer.
*Since we do not alter the natural tones and grains of the wood, each one has unique differences.

IN REVIEW
WOOD: We designed the 3.5-inch Comfort Cross with walnut wood for lasting handmade quality. Since we do not alter the natural tones and grains of the wood, each one has unique differences.
You can hold onto it while praying or when it is difficult to pray. It can help us turn to God when we feel weakest.
