CELTIC CROSS - A Beautiful Bone Celtic Cross Pendant
CELTIC CROSS - MANAWA ORA - Breath of Life
In the artists words below...
This cross is named Manawa Ora which means Breath of Life.
As a symbol of atonement, the message of the cross is that Jesus Christ, God's own Son, willingly suffered and died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. As it says in Romans 5:8, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." As a result, Jesus Christ attained victory over death.
The patten on the cross contains a number of koru depicted as a growing vine. For we are grafted into the vine through the gift of grace freely given. In general, the koru represents new life and new beginnings.
The markings in-between the korus symbolise that we are carried, supported and nurtured by God's love.
On the back is an inlay of pounamu. This represents the strength of abounding and steadfast love.
Kia tau ki a tātou katoa Te atawhai o tō tātou Ariki a Ihu Karaiti Me te aroha o te Atua Me te whiwhingatahitanga Ki te Wairua Tapu Ake, ake, ake. Amine.
"May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all Forever and ever. Amen."
CELTIC CROSS really is a work of art to wear! This piece is carved from bone and stained for detail. The centre inlay on the back is pounamu.
We have paired this lovely Cross with an adjustable cord in Celtic Colours. If you like handcrafted, traditional art to wear, and if you appreciate beautiful craftsmanship - check this piece out, it's a beauty!
Andrew provides a note to the holder of the carving, which is included in your package. This is special, as it creates a connection between the artist, the carving and the owner of CELTIC CROSS.
This pendant will be delivered to you on a plaited, adjustable cord.
We will also include our 'Kia Ora' card, which explains the meaning behind the Koru design.
