This is nickel free, pewter pendant of the Padstow Cross. It comes with an adjustable corded necklace and a story card. In religion and art, the cross is the richest and most enduring of geometric symbols, taking many forms and meanings throughout history. It is both the emblem of the Christian faith and a more ancient and universal image of the cosmos reduced to its simplest terms; two intersecting lines making four points of direction. These stood for the four cardinal points and the four rain bearing winds, the four phases of the moon and the four great gods of the elements.. The cross was also a summary of the Tree of Life.
