Inspired by the sculpted stone high crosses of ancient Ireland. 

Designed and handcrafted in a highly individual style, the metallic bronze wax cross is the featured element of the Cross of Erin.  With the arms and shaft joined by four great arcs, the cross includes engraved mouldings, interlacing intricate frets, and a three-tiered base containing key symbols of the Paschal candle: the Alpha and Omega, Lamb of God, and the current year.  Enhancing the detail of the cross are handmade wax gemstones in brilliant hues of emerald and violet - an elegant approach to the traditional Paschal nail.
