Black & Red Cross w/ Silver Milagros

Description

One of Mexico’s oldest religious traditions, these elaborate wooden crosses have long been considered a cornerstone of popular Mexican folk art. Each handmade cross has been painstakingly adorned with tiny brass figures known as milagros. The numerous tiny images nailed into each cross represent prayers and thanks for life’s tiny miracles and gifts of heaven. The same religious charms are popularly used in Mexico’s churches and on altars, and now you can faithfully decorate your own home with them.
