Description

Material - Metal lined with plastic
Size - 2 1/4 Inch diameter, 3/4 inch (high)
This Jerusalem Cross communion pyx is perfect to safely carry consecrated hosts to those who are unable to attend Mass. A pyx provides an important link and allows those unable to physically attend the sacred Communion ceremony to take part in a fundamental part of being a Catholic. This polished brass communion pyx with an gold-tone finish and epoxy lid will remind both the Eucharist minister and the person recieving the Eucharist of the ultimate sacrifice that Jesus made for all of us and our sins. On the lid is a red Jerusalem Cross, a symbol used in Christianity to represent Christ's command to spread the Gospel around the world; beginning in Jerusalem. Composed of 5 crosses, 1 large central cross with 4 smaller, it represents the following:
-The central cross stands for Christ and the four smaller crosses stand for the 4 evangelists John, Luke, Mark, and Matthew.
- The large cross represents Christ as the strength at the center of Christianity and the smaller crosses as the 4 corners of the earth to which the faith spread.
- The crosses represent the wounds that Christ suffered when He was crucified; the central cross for the wound on His side, and the 4 smaller crosses for the wounds on His hands and feet.
- The 5 crosses represent the five nations that figured in The Crusades: Great Britain, France, Spain, Germany, and Italy.
This pyx holds up to ten (10) hosts.
