Mini Jerusalem Cross/Kairos Pendant in 14kt Gold, 11mm or .4"

Our delicate 14K gold Jerusalem Cross/Kairos pendant measures 11mm (a little smaller than a dime). Chains sold separately. To complete the look, we suggest one of our 1.2mm gold-filled chains. The Jerusalem Cross, also known as the "Five-Fold Cross," is said to represent the five wounds of Christ and also the four evangelists, or Christ and the four quarters of the world. The Jerusalem Cross is also the symbol used for Kairos, an ancient Greek word meaning "a time when conditions are right for the accomplishment of a crucial action: the opportune and decisive moment." Rooted in the Ignatian, Catholic tradition, many Catholic high schools, and universities offer Kairos retreats as a time to allow young adults to reflect on their relationship with God, self, and others. The four crosses symbolize the motto of the retreat "Live the fourth," to encourage living out the promises made on the fourth and final day of the retreat. A Fount of Grace exclusive. Made in the USA.
